Alan Sugar is a Labour Lord and the bulk of his wealth comes from real estate and commercial property lettings. Which is why he’s regularly on the telly crying about people being allowed to work from home. Show me a billionaire and I’ll show you an exploitative parasite.
Thanks for the information Skaface.

I quite liked Richard Branstons story though. I've read his autobiography and he initially followed his passion for music. Likewise has given a fair bit of money to charity as well. Admittedly does come from a affluent background but hasn't squandered a entrepreneurial spirit pushed by his mum.

Probably not too difficult to make loads of money if you tax evade and try to sue the NHS all the time. Branson is a wànker of epic proportions. Stop being impressed by money alone.

Mariner I admire people in any walk of life that don't squander their ability in any given field be it plumbing,sport , teaching,music  etc. It's nothing to do with money .

I seem to remember, from decades ago, that Branson said something like ' I had to distribute my records so I jumped into my mate's car which wasn't taxed, tested or insured but got the job done'.

I do sometimes wonder what other corners he has cut to make his billions. He now makes £14million per month

Richard Branson who pays no tax on his £2bn nhs deal and demanded a bailout from the tax payer for his airline despite owning a Caribbean island. Charity is a cold, grey, loveless thing…

A Caribbean Island which just happens to be in the BVI, one of the world's premier tax havens. Wanted help rebuilding from the government after Hurricane Irma hit, I seem to recall? Could be wrong, but I think that's what I read at the time.

I don’t know how much Giles was snorted by Boris over the weekend but his performance in the Commons at the moment is more crazy than ever.

Lie after lie to the end.

He did indeed…Brandon was, for a while the poster boy for kids who copulated school or didn’t get good grades. The very thing Thatcher fapped over…in truth, I wouldn’t want any of the kids I teach to have such corrupt morals as Branson. I’d rather they lead a modest life and an honest one…although sadly, folk seem to think having sack fulls of cash is all that matters…


'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza

There was a gushing piece in The Times magazine the other Saturday where he admitted he didn't know the difference between 'net' and 'gross' in accounting terms until he was about 50. This indicates to me he was somewhat lucky during large parts of his business career.
