Richard Branson is famous for his publicity stunts to promote the launch of a business or a project.

He has scaled buildings, flown over the ocean with a hot air balloon, and dressed in drag, among other unusual activities.

Produced by Justin Gmoser; Additional camera by Daniel Goodman. Originally published in October 2013.
