what do you guys respect so much about Branson...the guy is ridiculous and pretends to be much wealthier than he really is. He once pledged 3bn to clinton's global initiative, which he clearly did not have because it was more than the earning power of all his businesses combined.

Most of his Virgin business ideas are stupid and have failed (F1, reality TV, cosmetics). The ones where he succeeded are predominantly in regulated industries where he can schmooze with bureaucrats and leverage his political connections to fend off competition.

He's also a 60+ man who likes to brag about his sexual appetite and drug use.

Not saying the guy isn't successful, but I would hardly consider him a role model.
