Richard Branson
Entrepreneur, philanthropist, UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Climate Ambition & Solutions
Sir Richard Branson is an iconic figure who has dedicated his entire life to creating happiness around the world.
An inspirational character for many reasons. He started his entrepreneurial journey while still schoolboy, has built an incredible business empire, and actively works to make the world and humanity better.
While it's currently in style to be skeptical of anyone with a massive net worth, we believe the world would be a much better place if more of them acted like Branson.
While the fact that he's an adventurer at heart makes him an endearing character his humanity is what really shines.
He actively works to lift others up around him, and build long-term sustainable growth. He supports and helps major innovation in a variety of fields anywhere from spaceflight, to mass transit, to green energy. He also creates academies to teach young people, particularly in impoverished areas, how to build and grow a business. He is a regular advocate for humanity in the workplace and truly supporting the people within his organization and beyond.
