Not so with Sir Dick, he has done everything to make himself loved, in turn his staff have made him squazillions.
He's made his $$$$$$$$$ but when did he last publicly discuss his not so flash ventures.
Not deliberately trying to be negative, but who remembers Virgin Cola, Virgin America, Virgin Trains, Virgin Lotteries or Virgin Megastores to name a few?

Curiously for a fella that knows business why has he been content to allow VA to continue making losses year in and year out.
He's obviously outvoted by the Chinese, Singaporean and Middle Eastern partners, so I can only assume it must be a tax dodge?? For the others too??
We know he loves to party, but wouldn't it be great if he came out and spoke seriously about what they intend to do to fix all their woes?
They're playing with Aussies livelihoods here, no fun in that!
