About This Book

Richard Branson is one of the world's most successful entrepreneurs and possibly its most successful public relations man. Whether he's promoting the Sex Pistols, hitting British Airways with a multimillion-dollar libel suit, breaking the speed record for crossing the Atlantic by boat, or cracking a monopoly on condoms in the UK, Branson cultivates his public image hip, charming, casual, open-minded, nice, fun. But behind the dazzling smile, practical jokes, and notorious spontaneity (he once flipped Ivana Trump upside down at a party), there is another Richard Bransonshrewd, calculating businessman, relentless negotiator, almost compulsively daring risk taker. Based on interviews with Branson himself, his key advisers, his partners, friends, and enemiesand drawing on secret documents, letters, and court papersthis book reveals the compelling history of both a business empire and the man at its center. Richard Virgin King is the first fully independent, unauthorized account of one of the greatest success stories of our time.
