Richard Branson: Virgin Galactic will launch its first commercial space flights this month.

Most of Virgin Orbit’s California headquarters and its converted plane, Cosmic Girl, have been sold off.

The Virgin CEO has experienced a turbulent time.

After lockdowns impacted his aviation and leisure businesses, Sir Richard told the BBC in May that he had personally lost almost £1.5 billion (£1.9 billion) during the pandemic.

 

He recalled, “There was a time I thought we were going to lose everything.” Nevertheless, he has maintained his billionaire status; he is currently listed as having a net worth of £2.4 billion on the most recent Sunday Times Rich List.
