Sir Richard Branson: Me and my money

WHEN I was 16 years old I bought a house boat in Little Venice, London, which cost me about £2,000. There was a girl living on it who was about to be kicked out so I bought the boat and moved in with her. I basically acquired a girlfriend called Monday and a dog called Friday.

I've no idea what it would be worth now, but I'll never sell it as it has huge sentimental value to me. I set up Virgin from it and my children love it.

The rumour is that THIS IS THE BOAT, the big one on the right.
