In 1972, a young entrepreneur named Richard Branson turned his mail order record business into a brick and mortar store, which he named Virgin Records. Today, the company - which is now called Virgin Group - is much more than a record store, comprising more than 40 companies that include airlines, financial services, communications, and even space-travel. And Branson himself has stakes in more than 400 companies ranging from travel, media, healthcare, and finance.
