Ever heard of Virgin? Its one of the most recognizable brands in the world thanks to the three hundred companies that carry the Virgin name. The company was founded by Sir. Richard Branson back in the early 1970s and has grown into a monster with over $11 billion in annual revenue. In every company there is always an assumed heir apparent. It could be a long time colleague, or a family member. In the case of Virgin Group, all eyes are on Richard Branson's 26 year old son, Sam Branson. At his age and daddy's money, Sam well grounded. He isn't your typical billion dollar playboy heir who is a fixture at hot spots around the world. Many expected to be reading about his wild nights in the tabloids and photos of him and a bevy of women floating around the internet, but this isn't the case. In fact, He is rarely if ever seen out about unless its a Virgin event. There is no doubt that Sam feels pressure to take over the family business when his dad retires, but he doesn't think his dad will force it on him. It has to be something he wants to do, as he told the Daily Mail:
Now and then I feel the pressure of this huge thing, Virgin. But it’s not a company, it’s my family and I’m involved whether I like it or not. When I’ve done my own thing and proved myself, followed my own path, then it will be a natural progression to go and work with Virgin. But my mission with Current Sponge… it sounds cheesy. But it is going to change the world.’[DailyMail]
