Richard Branson's unusual philosophy, rocketing net worth and world domination

mirror.co.uk:

Sir Richard Branson turns 71 today, and is showing no sign of slowing down. In fact, mere days ago he was the first billionaire to be launched into space, on his own Virgin Galactic rocket plane, in an experience he called "magical".

The Virgin tycoon fulfilled a lifelong ambition after investing 16 years and more than £1billion to finally make the trip to the edge of space, beating competitors Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.

But what is is about Richard that has made him the winner of the billionaire space race, with a reported net worth of £4.3billion?

Richard's "screw it, let's do it philosophy" is one that he credits with giving him the confidence to take risks in business, which he says is one of the most important keys to success.
