Sir Richard Branson



本人很自大覺得誰都沒什麼了不起...
不過如果要選個人當作目標來追趕...
應該會毫不猶豫選Richard Branson...
可能是捐很多錢給女皇還封他爵士...

這個人生他媽的太精采太刺激太冒險...
一般的有錢人錢太多不會花又很怕死...
這怪胎整天在想各種方法破紀錄...
帆船快艇熱氣球環遊世界甚至太空旅行...
是的沒錯跟Doom大師一樣神經病...

但不要看他亂搞一通好像很瞎...
維京virgin集團可是海削大錢...
它火車是UK最快最高級最舒服...
唱片雜誌航空手機可樂什麼都來...
還有媽的B自己超級夢幻小島...

他的成功法我歸納起來勒...
就是喜歡的..幹...做就對了...
超殺的拉...學起來學起來...
又有錢又會玩才是最高境界到底...
下面那個是他的一些屌紀錄...水...

Richard Branson has been involved in a number of world record-breaking attempts since 1985, when in the spirit of the Blue Riband he attempted to cross the Atlantic Ocean in the fastest recorded time. His first attempt in the "Virgin Atlantic Challenger" led to the boat capsizing in British waters and a rescue by RAF helicopter, which received wide media coverage. Some newspapers called for Richard Branson to reimburse the British government for the cost of his rescue. In 1986, his "Virgin Atlantic Challenger II" made a successful crossing, beating previous records by two hours. This was followed a year later by the epic hot air balloon crossing of the same ocean in "Virgin Atlantic Flyer". This was not only the first hot-air balloon to cross the Atlantic, but was the largest ever flown at 2.3 million cubic feet (65,000 m³) capacity, reaching speeds in excess of 130 miles per hour (209 km/h).

In January 1991, Branson crossed the Pacific Ocean from Japan to Arctic Canada, the farthest distance of 6,700 miles. Again, he broke all existing records, with speeds of up to 245 miles per hour in a balloon of 2.6 million cubic feet (73,600 m³).


Between 1995 and 1998 Branson, Per Lindstrand and Steve Fossett, made a number of attempts to circumnavigate the globe by balloon. In late 1998 they made a record-breaking flight from Morocco to Hawaii but were unable to complete a global flight before Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones in Breitling Orbiter achieved the first circumnavigation in March 1999.


In March 2004, Branson set another world record by travelling from Dover to Calais in a Gibbs Aquada, breaking all previous records for fastest time in crossing the English Channel in an amphibious vehicle. The crossing was performed in 1 hour, 40 minutes, and 6 seconds. The previous record was set by two Frenchmen at 6 hours.In the tenth series, second episode of Top Gear, the team tried to break his record, but failed.
