A day in the life of billionaire Richard Branson, who always carries a pen, despises ties, and drinks up to 20 cups of tea a day
Sir Richard Branson has had quite a life.
After founding Virgin Records in 1972, the mogul went on to establish the Virgin Group conglomerate, get knighted by the Queen of England, and accrue a personal fortune of about $5 billion, according to Forbes.
The business magnate is now famous for his globe-trotting adventures and his casual, mischievous attitude. This is the man who once took a hilarious photo with a Virgin employee he caught napping on the job, after all.
According to Virgin's website, Branson doesn't intend to retire and "spends most of his time working on not-for-profit initiatives."
So what does his daily routine look like?
Branson himself broke his daily schedule down in a blog post in April. Every day is different for the jet-setting billionaire, but here are some highlights from his usual schedule:
Branson wakes up at 5 a.m. every day. "Getting up and at it early gives me time to get on top of things, and chart my day effectively," he wrote in a 2014 blog post.

He carves out plenty of time to spend with his family and eat breakfast. "Not only does this help them know how important they are to me, but it also grounds me before I start my day," he wrote.

Once he's up, he's ready to move. Some of his favorite activities include kite-surfing, swimming, cycling, and tennis. Virgin's website says the founder has a "mean tennis serve."
