Richard Branson is one of the most well known and most liked billionaires on the planet, and he primarily made his fortune from being the founder of Virgin Group which is a multinational conglomerate made up of over 400 separate companies. Branson’s financial portfolio includes many different things, with transportation being one of them, primarily in the form of the airline Virgin Atlantic. People like to travel, it is one of the primary reasons why the airline industry exists, and whether you believe it or not, many people are also interested in space, which is why Branson decided to combine the two. It took Branson about 200 million dollars to build a fully functional craft that is capable of sending at least eight passengers into orbit. Branson believes that shuttles like these will lead to space tourism and scientific missions, but do not get ahead of yourself because it is believed that people will have to pay about 200,000 dollars for just a single ticket.
