Drones swarm over bearded Brit billionaire's island getaway Youtube Video Richard Branson has invested in 3D Robotics and set the firm’s drones loose over his tropical island Necker. The hirsute entrepreneur was captured by the drones playing tennis and kitesurfing, while the wee machines also captured “drone’s eye views” of the island. “It’s amazing to see what a little flying …

Hmmm. Not got enough children though.
Started a business out of a phone box and pushed on through life from there.
Someone bought the rights to the VM brand and applied to a cable company,
