Meet Holly Branson, the daughter of Virgin billionaire Richard Branson: the former doctor joined the family business’ philanthropy arm and lives a modest lifestyle
- Her dad went to space like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, but Holly lives a relatively normal life in London – though she once climbed Mont Blanc with Princess Beatrice
- Away from the Virgin office, Holly is an adrenaline junkie like her dad, joining him in kitesurfing the English Channel and breaking records for marathon runs
Being born into a billionaire family certainly has its advantages. However, Holly Branson, the daughter of business magnate Richard Branson, prefers to keep it low-key. And if you haven’t heard of her before, that’s not too surprising, since despite being an heiress to her father’s Virgin conglomerate, she actually lives a more normal life than you’d think.
That’s not to say she’s not busy. Holly’s life is distributed between her roles as an author, philanthropist, executive at Virgin Group and Virgin Unite, and spending time with her family. She is the eldest child of Richard and herself has three kids with husband Freddie Andrewes.
Here’s what to know about the 40-year-old entrepreneur …
Growing up Branson
Life will never be too ordinary or straightforward when you are the daughter of one of the world’s wealthiest business owners. After all, dad does run an empire of over 400 companies in various fields.
But for Holly, her parents (Richard Branson and Joan Templeman) did the best they could to keep their two children away from the spotlight. It’s a stark contrast to their father’s larger-than-life status.
