Richard Branson is perhaps the craziest dude with money currently promoting himself as such (TRUMP excluded).

“You don’t need much money to be happy. If you live in a house, you end up living in the kitchen.”

“If you have one big kitchen and enough bedrooms for yourself and your family, that’s about all you need for a home.”

“Um, A car, um, as long as it has four wheels and it’s environmentally friendly, and it gets you from A to B, you dont need a big flash car to be happy.”

“On a personal basis, as long as you can have one breakfast, one lunch and one dinner. As long as you can sort out your family, if their ill. Ah, you know the personal needs are not that great to be happy.”

“If your lucky, and have extreme wealth you can talk like an out-of-touch crack pot.”
