Sir Richard Bronson

[amber]

Richard Bronson has offered 25 million dollars to the next scientist that can basically rid the world of green house gases. I respect him a great deal because though he has tons of money, he puts it to good causes, not just this one of course, but many other causes as well.

I believe you meant Branson.

Branson is the man. If I were ever uber rich, I think my life style would be a very close shadow to his. he does good for communities, the world(on occasion), and is just a cool guy all around...and he treats his employees VERY well!

Will be interesting what the science community comes up with. Rutan did great w. The x-prize challenge funded in part by Branson.

Same here Tattrat, if I were rich, do good to the communities and world. He's definately very cool.

Yes, jmpcgrew, I meant Richard Branson, not Bronson. lil typo there on my part.

I find it quite refreshing that his daughter is a very high achiever in Med School...not out running wild.

He is very generous with his money and supports many wonderful causes.

Great guy!! I have a lot of admiration for him.

What is really refreshing is this internatonal take on it. I was still in UK when he started talking about putting his profits into finding a fuel and everyone started yelling what a self serving publicist this was, and a great way to up his profits in other areas. At this point in time we need an answer, and I don't really care who finds it and if they sell more cds/make up/tv shows whatever as a result of looking for it.

He knows how to enjoy his money, but also does so much good. I admire that.
