He was only 18 when he made his first million. Today he is the boss of the international company Virgin Enterprises and nobody can stop him. Richard Branson is one of the richest men in Britain and he is definitely the most excentric and couragious entrepreneur of the kingdom - never giving up in creating new challenges.

It was in the 70s that Richard Branson began to make money with his hobby. As the producer of the LP "Tubular Bells" he had right from the beginning great success with his label Virgin Records. Stars like the Rolling Stones, U2, Janet Jackson or Phil Collins were then produced by Virgins Records, the label that created music trends.

Today Virgin has such a variety of products such as condoms, make-up, railway companies or airlines. More than 50.000 people work for Virgin, their boss admits not knowing how to use a personal computer. He loves to found new enterprises, but he is not very interested in leading them himself. So he does what he can: founding, delegating and fascinating people for his ideas, always hunting for new records.

The film tries to find out what makes him tick, what makes him running from one succes to another, never doubting on his aims. The author travels with Richard Branson through England and the USA and visits him at home where he is telling the very personal and exciting story of his life.
