Is that Dyson the same Dyson employs a mere 1700 people, compared to 55000 that Virgin employ. The Dyson who moved all production to Malaysia when he didn’t need to, he could have left part of Dyson in the UK or found a UK site for the whole business.
All business owners can avoid personal tax in many ways but one thing you cannot do is avoid the tax of your staff or corporation tax. If only half of Virgins staff are in the UK thats 22500 paying tax. You are wrong in judgement
@supercreamysperm what the fuck are you talking about? so what if dyslexia is common, is that suppose to be news
@swedish89 G0d eftermiddag. By “m0vie” I assume y0u mean “vide0.” N0, I haven’t watched the vide0, dut I read s0me 0f the c0mments del0w anb I realiseb that Drans0n is a dylsexic man.

Don’t have enough money , but i would trust any amount with this philosophical genius.
@e1nste1n Or perhaps some of us think he is rather overrated / hyped, very few of his businesses create additional jobs in the economy and he pays virtually no tax, I have for more respect for people like James Dyson whose business creates jobs that would simply not exist without it and pays tax like everyone else.
great viedo

Africa has enough bilionaires already, we need the wealth re-distributed, not aid! And redisbuting wealth can only be done by the population itself, not outside influece.
He is so awesome. Rich, powerful – but just a regular, likeable guy. Even in my deep envy I absolutely love his persona. =)
TED should be nominated the best channel on Youtube… ever!
I really love this guy !
I guess out all the billionaires out there, Sir Richard Branson is the coolest of them all.
i love this guy trully an inspiration
Really good questions by the interviewer.
the guy definitely seems very happy, but this interview was just a bunch of silly jokes, anecdotes, and platitudes, with nothing really useful. he seems to just have an act that he puts on for the camera, but i’m suspecting that he is extremely different in private, or at least when work DOES need to get done, which is obviously how many high-profile camera-hungry executives are.
@darthspeaks haha, I though you were serious. But yes, the BEST SELLING book in the world. 😉
@DogmeatFilms Rubbish? You mean the Bible? The best selling book of all time? Are you kidding? Please tell me you are kidding me…
14 people missed the like button because you obviously have to live under a rock to not like and be inspired by this guy!
@darthspeaks I don’t think he cares about that rubbish
i hope i get to meet this man in person one day!
