8. Richard Branson
Richard Branson is an England-born investor and business tycoon known for founding the Virgin Group, an umbrella conglomerate with over 400 companies under it. His current net worth is estimated to be around $5 billion, which includes a lovely island in Australia called Makepeace Island.
While most of the billionaires on this list called their formal education quits in college, Branson didn’t even make it out of high school, dropping out when he was just 16. On his last day of school, his headmaster told him he would either end up in prison or become a millionaire. He was off by one letter.
