Virgin Life - a day on Necker Island

- People often ask how I spend my time on Necker Island - here's a film that gives you a glimpse into a day on Necker. From playing tennis to working from home, seeing the lemurs to kitesurfing , join us for a taste of island life.
I've never had a desk in an office since I was a teenager. I prefer to work in a hammock, on a sofa or even in a bath. Now that's flexible working!
It's critical to get the balance between work and play right. Find time for yourself; work hard but also play hard. I think people work more effectively when they are given the freedom to make their own decisions -- that is definitely something we practice on Necker.
I've embraced the social media revolution, and do a lot of posting from Necker Island (including this video!) You can be instantly connected to fascinating people everywhere -- even if you're in a remote corner of the world.
From The Elders to The Carbon War Room, Virgin Galactic to The B Team, Necker is a great place to think and a great place to conceive ideas. Take a look at where we get our inspiration. Where do you find yours?

"Freedom" as shown here is the true meaning of success.
I agree!!
A lot of work must be done before getting freedom.
the person can't be completely free, it's an ilussion! He has a lot of obligations and responsibilties, that others can't imagine.... Being Richard Branson means imperial live for others, not everyone can afford this burden!
My notes from this video: keep fit, have fun, don't restrict your work to an office, be open and allow inspiration to come wherever you are. :) Great inspiration!
Agreed!
Why listen to him? He committed extensive fraud when he started and came from a very privileged background.
Deych fddd
NECKTER dd
you forgot: work from a bathtub
Bloody hell. He went from a grotty high street second hand record store to Planes, Trains, Media, Money, Phones, Wine. .A Multi-Billionaire. He must sometimes lay awake at night thinking, I made it. I really made it.
I bet he lis awake at night wondering how he can do better. People that keep achieving never stop wanting more.
you are poor in spirit.
and you are poor too
henry horse He pulled his rail franchise and in the contract he was supposed to pay the £22 billion payment back,however the government (Chris grayling) told him not to bother paying it back tax free by the way. I think I could buy an island for that.please start thinking for yourself and stop watching bbc
James Franko really the contract agreement can be viewed through the freedom of information act with penalties and interest i am actually being conservative you no doubt are one of these people who have lost the ability to take in new information and store it unless its on the tv or in a newspaper destined for a life of complete ignorance probably at my expense
I am so sick of sitting behind my desk every day I feel like I'm dying I really need to figure out a way to be as happy as you are because I know I work my ass off every day. Thank you for reminding me to look up at the stars
Think about a life on a sailboat. Check ebay for boat prices and see how reasonable it can be. You can make the life you desire. I did it and I am not any different than you. If you can sit behind a desk everyday..that's MUCH harder. I know. Have done both.
Christian S nope. Need to get the hubby on board- literally.
@@tanyadupras4379 Well things take time , wishing you all the best !
Sold his soul for this...not worth it...in the end ...
@@suehughes-parry2795 shut up you utter fucking helmet
I now live in the Caribbean, this is the LIFE. I made it. That office life in NYC was not for me. Richard Branson is showing the way, don't live a dull life. live it to the fullest!
Blaze up 👏😎
One thing about Sir Branson is that, he and his family may live isolated from the rest of society but he does get alot of company!
What a great example of running companies: working in a balanced way and showing the world it is possible. We need more of these personalities.!
It's amazing he bought this island for 180.000£
Julius Caesar thats cheap...
Yeah I know, but i think it was in the 80s
+philltitanium now a days that is half a million US dollars... its probably worth a lot more than that now
Boglenight Agree!
philltitanium
the animals themselves probably cost close to a million, what with lemurs, giant tortoises and other rare creatures
This is the life I everyday imagine about .
Start it today my friend, you have to jump to soar. Good Luck!
What i love is when he said it's a great place to THINK, and conceive IDEAS. That's my American Dream, my own island - a sanctuary from all the distractions, noise pollution to be able to think with clarity.
Dreighen go for it! Become an entrepreneur as you can't do it otherwise!
So your American dream... is to leave America?
Dreighe
That is exactly what I am doing my friend :)
You realize there are islands for sale IN America right? And the American dream isn't localized to America zzz.
I dont kno if u will ever read this Sir Richard. But ur question is how do u keep work satifing. Well me personally I love seeing people having fun n being happy. I've had many different jobs in my time. MOST in the fast food or customer service part of employment. Sure it low pay n hard work but I loved it.. my mother owned her own Security Guard business at one time I helped her run it . It was fine. I enjoyed the interacting with guest n making sure they were happy n safe more than the office part.. I loved when I did front desk at hotels very much. Loved making sure when guest left they had a great experience and wanted to come back. At 44 i was a up coming manager at McDonald's n i loved my job. Always had a positive attitude n tried to make sure my customers were happy n that my teammates had good days as well. There was an accident at work one day n it went down hill from there. I was able to work for almost yr and half after the accident. I miss working so much I hope n pray that after all the work comp doctors and treatments I can return to work or mayb some kind of what use to b normal life for me. I love ur Island its beautiful. N love that u care for ur employees and that u do alot for them. Ur a good person .. Thank God for people like u..
What a great comment, as long as you really enjoy what you do to make your money. It really doesn't matter what field of work. As long as you stay true to yourself and you go home at the end of the day feeling like you made a difference to someone's life. I believe in three things, Work hard, stay humble and always treat people the way you would want to be treated. You will achieve your goals or your dreams. Have yourself a lovely day.
@@DanAuto thank u for ur comment. I appreciate ur kind words and yes I truly did enjoy my work. God willing my body will heal from this accident n I can get back to what I love.
So glad you reached out to help those people! You are doing good things with your time and money! God bless you.
Branson defiles every aspect of “ conventional way of doing business “ that it is mind-bugling ...His life-style , his ideas , his way of life and way of doing business should be a mandatory course at every major business school around the world ...
I watched this video and went out to get "Like A Virgin: Secrets They Won't Teach You at Business School". Two words - THANK YOU
Absolute legend of a man, congratulations to him and everything he has achieved. Good luck to you pal and enjoy everything you deserve.
And congratulations are in order to you too sir for your positive and uplifting comment about a very clever and talented man. Makes a nice change from the many ignorant, jealous losers commenting here.
I’m here after reading Richard’s poetic description of the first time he set foot on the island with Joan in his book “Screw it, Let’s do it.”
An atlernative title for this video is "Freedom".Truly Inspiring ❤
Really glad the B Team was setup, haven’t yet checked it out.
One of my first inspirations I picked up from Richard on my first trip to his record shop in Birmingham.
It was clear to me immediately that the energy coming from the really helpful staff, was down to how they were treated by their Employer.
In my first Management Job I took this philosophy with me and turned a Business around, it has given me great pleasure to this day watching and hearing happy people at work, where it became fun, compared to when I first entered the business. The staff were arriving miserable and leaving in the same state, creating problems and low productivity due to low moral.
My inspiration. Hard work and commitment has paid off for this man. But attitude goes a long way to. And i think thats what has made him the success he is.
This dude lives the life! Awesome
Have a look at footage on you tube, Branson's connection with Epstein and the Clintons. Branson and Pizza gate. Not a nice human being at all
I forgot to mention as someone else put below, when Branson dies will he be a Jimmy Saville
And he’s asking for a bail out package from public money despite a) not paying taxes b) being a fucking multi billionaire who’s easily got the money stacked away to help his companies, he’s a leech on society
Stress free job is the best job in the world ..great achievement by Richard sir ... 👍👍👍👍👍All the best from india 🇮🇳
You’re supporting a pedo
This guy is such an inspiration, i' m almost creating my own company
Im a big fan simply for the positive life you live and the inspiration you give us all what a great human you are 😘
" I do love the feel of wind blowing through my hair" . But unfortunately my house and the other buildings on Necker didn't.😭
Beautiful island but who keeps the island up and running for you.
I am fascinated with his kindness. 😊
Just finished reading his autobiography, with the 2 added chapters. Enjoyed it thoroughly
*Thank you for showing us an insight into your world, Richard. You're very inspiring and awesome beyond words. I can't wait to meet you some day! Cheers from Canada*
Great. Just wish he would pay uk taxes rather than suing the NHS.
@Johnny Tobee He should pay his taxes.
Now he is offering that island as a loan for government to save his airline company... Save it yourself dude... Disgusting!
Bro , he just doesnt pay income tax , his companies in the uk and his employees all pay taxes , he has generated enormous amounts of revenue and job opportunities for people in uk. Y'all need to chill it down.
Could you provide some sources about him not paying UK taxes and suing the NHS? Genuinely curious.
kin aren’t u the same creature as them meaning u just insulted urself?
This guy sued the NHS so I hope the British government does not give him tax payers money as this would be very unpopular with the British public.
Government saving his would be absolutely insane... Save it yourself...
It was a once in a lifetime experience.
Wow, what a life...........From humble beginnings, to his own world but so complacent with it,. Many CEO's and MD's will learn so much from this man...........Richard has the balance so right, good on you fella.
His beginnings were no more humble than "Prince" William. He started off with a HUGE vat fraud (250k in today's terms). Would have gone to jail but his rich family (including judges) got him off the hook. He also started off with a LOT of family money and introductions. He has a shady history ever since. And that's putting it extremely politely. Your ignorance of the real Branson is jawdropping.
DEAR MR. BRANSON,
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I LOVE YOU MR. BRANSON. I LOVE MR. ESPARZA AND ALL OF MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN A MIRACLE AND FAR BEYOND ANYTHING THAT I HAVE EVER IMAGINED. I FEEL LIKE CRYING WITH COMPLETE GRATITUDE AND HAPPINESS. I AM SPEECHLESS AND COMPLETELY SURPRISED AND COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY! YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING WITH A BEAUTIFUL HEART. I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN A MIRACLE AND A MIRACLE AND A MIRACLE! ALL OF MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS ARE BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEINGS WITH BEAUTIFUL HEARTS. I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL. WOW! WOW! WOW! 🙏
SINCERELY PETER
So this where the kids go?
I like Sir Branson, I hope he can help making the world a greener place by his advocacy
An amazing guy again !!!! This is the person I love to meet
Greetings to your buddy Epstein! BTW You stick to "Tennis", or also happen play a round of "Ping Pong" eventually?
Fair play to you Richard a self made man. works hard plays hard and relaxes nicely. One place I hope to visit one day or moskito. Best wishes.
I bet the house looks smashing now
He is the the only rich man that has rich humanity feelings in heart. I like this guy, and I wish him the best.
Genuinely have so much admiration and respect for Sir Richard. Done so much for the UK and many societies around the world and not just by creating jobs. We need more CEOs to think like this man.
Some "special desire" is the prerequisite to become a "Knight of the Queen" (Liz ... ard^^)!

Things like virgin galactic.... And he just flew in virgin galactic to space! Definitely a very good place to conceive ideas....
All out for himself.
He does a lot with his iPad. I don’t think people yet realise how incredible an invention the iPad is.
Hi Richard! Hope all is well! So happy you made the deal of a lifetime with Necker Island! Hope all is well too! If some how you could help! Maybe have some of your doner pals help! My Name is Andre Defrancesco from Philadelphia! If you Google my name you won’t see a celebrity or musician. You would see Franklin Recovery! We are a non profit recovery home in South Philadelphia! My parents immigrated to this area 56 years ago from Sicily! Today we help the community to our fullest potential! Ty for all your inspiration
Should the UK taxpayer really subsidise this dude's luxurious lifestyle?
Absolutely not! He can go fuck himself...
@Mr Duloq Baka Bok I disagree! If Branson doesn't pay any taxes, then he shouldn't be entitled to taxpayers' money. As Thatcher always used to say: Governments don't have any money, only yours, the taxpayers.
@@Strepite Agreed! He went offshore to avoid paying taxes, so why should the government gives him a bailout paid for with taxpayers' money?
After Hurricane Irma will have passed Necker Island today, all plants and houses are probably gone. Branson said it will be fun, drinking some wine in the cellar with his buddies, till Irma passed. Stupid, ignorant idea. This is like drinking wine in the cellar while the house is burning. Hopefully, they survived.
I think he is truly a gentleman who touch nature people mindset and made a profound impact...
To have fun at work and to keep balance in between personal and professional life is crucial - I fully agree. ☝🏻
I'm glad you are raising the main house again; congratulations!
Super fedt liv, godt gået, ønsker dig og din familie det bedste liv.
Wow I like work hard play harder.
Implimented
That place is beautiful!
Now that’s the place to go and never worry about the madness of the world.
Thank you for always searing your advice with us
I keep things simple and trying to think out of the box
you are my mentor
Awesome video Richard. I worked at Virgin Australia and shoke your hand long time ago when you came to visit about 10 years ago.
One tip Sir, it might be better to shower before breakfast than have breakfast first.
Sort of the rule to wait 30 minutes before you go swimming after eating.
I cringe at my suggestion but I do care!
Nice spread btw!
Say hello to 'Lady' Branson!
I love Necker Island.
Hi Richard Branson, I’m a kid so don’t blame me if my writing is bad, we went to the Manor house, wow was that place amazing, ( especially Peter .)
Awesome inspiration ..when you think about life to go for a next level.
wow amazing necker island really inspire me to be like you 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Mr Branson you and your life is a great inspiration for me. Thx 4 sharing.
I like Richard Branson. I would rally like to spend some time with him. He just seems like a very nice person.
I love his concept ,and he make it sound so easy to work and have fun,well better said being an adventure business man. It's quite a hard life the way he do it,but I would say it's a blessing to have that opportunity. Feeling the freedom and to make money is truly a dream with a focused mind on the goal to succeed with a smile🤝MY respect Sir!
Awesome. Great. All the best 👍.
Seems like a nice place, which Richard Branson is proud of having (and sharing). I'd agree that Virgin galactic is pretty awesome & inspiring.
its hardly galactic. lol Im pretty sure it doesn't even leave the earth atmosphere.
@@flyagaric1607”technically” it goes to space according to the us Air Force
This is the kind of lifestyle i love having 🥰😇🦋doing business from my private island having fun and freedom🦋⭐️
Too bad you’ll never have it.
Thank you for video and positive spirit.Thank you for kindess of your heart generating and vibrating healing the world! So beautiful place, especially night sky. Have never seen so many stars in the sky at night.
I have two idols in my life, Sir Richard Branson and Meryl Streep. I love both their approach to life.... thank you for sharing :)
I read your your book with all of your hard work
Thank you 🌠🎄☃️ Happy Holidays 🌌🐎

“The best way of keeping fit is playing” yay!
My work is satisfying because it's about people. As I work as a life coach and holistic therapist, there's always new things and insights to discover about humanity and the light in people's eyes when we find solutions for their issues together is the best gift of my work. But I also like to play a lot, spend time in nature and meditate, travel and meet extraordinary people and find solutions for world's issues, expand my perceived limits by doing things "out if the box". Life is fun! ...
Is this located near epstien Island
No. Necker Island is off of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands. Epstein's Island, i.e. Little Saint James, is an island off of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands.
@@2011blueman lol thanks for the info
Beautiful island you bought it..its once in a lifetime.
I loved your island which i read about in your book "losing my virginity"
INVESTIGATE THIS ISLAND
You are an amazing man! How many lifetimes did you fit in this one life?
Hey Sir Richard. I purchased 5000 shares of VGAC when the spac hasn't even announced its target company. What gives me such confidence? Sir RB is behind it. With the profits I anticipate, I may purchase Greer Island off the coast of Maine.
Sir Richard, I'm just an ordinary guy but with a lots of ambitions in life that I want to achieve. Thank you for this video, it inspires me so much even in the small things I have.
Saw you on the Trevor McDonald Islands DVD loved it nice to see your progress. Big inspiration for me so thank you. BBUK OF THE PRINCES TRUST-Ben Judge
One of the most inspiring Englishman
If I had that island....it would be a Playboy Bunny Debauchery Den. Inspirational
You guys I love you!! and here is an almost fresh year crypto gift, my specialist alexis susan welsh. go grow yours. love you all
„He wanted me to go on the next plane to South Africa and save them“ now that’s the type of power a man should aspire.
If it went bankrupt it went bankrupt for a reason I wouldn’t pay a penny into it
Private islands got a bit of bad name in recent years i guess so it's pleasing to see a more wholesome side with this one.
This is my life. This man is my hero.
What a wonderful man
Little known fact: Scarlett Johansson was a guest on his island the night his main house caught fire and helped get his family members out of the home.
It wasnt Scarlet but Kate Winslet
Going to be there next week! So excited to see it in person!
Richard Branson you and your team are great. I just bought your new book today and I love it, have fun and thank you for the work/live advice you gave me in your book. Keep changing lives - Ben
TH-cam just recommended this to me after the Virgin space travel.
It is possible.
What a stunning place to be, and how rewarding to be in a posistion to share such beauty.
Working what we love .
Do what you love which takes to your goals reach...!!
Be humble..!!!
Hi Richard Branson im your new subs here... Amazing life you have..You're living in everyones dream ..but my wish is just simple I just want to work in your company virgin voyages cruise ship. Hope you can read my comments Sir.. I admire you😊

How do you keep Life satisfying? It is Life itself that satisfies. Everything else is second.
Mr. Branson! Im Danilo! I was at Sail Caribbean and my friends got to meet you!!
