wanted the love, the love needed.
Richard Charles Nicholas Branson was born in Shamley Green in Surrey July 18, 1950.
Known by many as the hippie capitalist, snubbing receptions for the jet set, extreme sports, loves, hates suits and ties. The principle that moves the entire life of the volcanic Richard Branson was the phrase that his grandmother made the 99 years wrote to him: the last ten years of my life were the best ever .
The school career of the little Richard was not brilliant, far from it. The studies represented for him a nightmare and the failure of the intelligence test was at a certain mortification. In fact, these instruments were unable to capture the irrepressible spirit of ambition and inspiration che costituiscono i presupposti irrinunciabili del successo. Ironicamente, proprio in quegli anni il talento di Branson iniziò a mostrarsi. A sedici anni Branson, allievo dello Stowe College, fondò il magazine Student, che avrebbe dovuto centrare la propria attenzione sugli studenti e sulla comunità, piuttosto che sulle questioni meramente amministrative. Presto l'intraprendenza di Richard e del suo compagno Gems lo arricchirono di interviste a rockstar e membri del parlamento, sponsorizzazioni di rilievo, tanto che la pubblicazione amatoriale si trasformò presto in un vero e proprio successo editoriale. A dirla tutta, senza il sovvenzionamento dei genitori i due ragazzi non sarebbero arrivati lontano. La mamma di Richard investì nell'operazione 4 pounds (about 12,000 pounds) and in a sense the enormous fortune of the son began with those 4 pounds.
After the encouragement of Richard Dean and his associates took possession of a warehouse on the top floor of a shoe store that would have turned in a record store cheap. They were not allowed to pay the rent since the trafficking of young buyers who would have flowed to the first floor would repay the owner of the hassle of having to abandon the stock higher. The initiative should be called "Slipped Disc" and was promptly renamed "Virgin" given that virtually all members were virgins at business. Twenty years after he founded dedicated to the Virgin for sale mail records and music tapes.
In 1972, turning a basement into a music studio in Oxfordshire and the name of the company into a real record label, started its first contract with the artist. It was realized that Mike Oldfield's debut album Tubular Bells, 1973. Five million copies and the beginning of the success of both. After him followed artists like the Sex Pistols, Culture Club, Phil Collins, Bryan Ferry, Belinda Carlisle, Genesis, Janet Jackson and The Rolling Stones.
