The top questions submitted and voted on by the Digg community are:
- When does money become immaterial? Having $1 million is different from being broke and I imagine having $10 million is different from $1 million. Is $1 billion significantly different in terms of lifestyle impact and implications than $250 million? (+503 diggs, submitted by dlprager)

- Your net worth is currently estimated in the billions. What is the most valuable thing in your life? (+353 diggs, submitted by Bisquick)
- Do you still smoke marijuana? If so, how often? If pot was legal, would there be Virgin Joints? (+351 diggs, submitted by braddaniels)

If he said it and it were true (to him) he understands that he would be considered self-centered and pretty worthless to the rest of humanity. Usually with lots of money comes lots of ego and most of the billion dollar egos can't handle not being admired/envied by us poor folks.
If he said it and it were not true, then he would be lying in a pathetic effort to appease your little mind in your little curiosity. That would make him a doubly worthless piece of human flesh.
I think that most of the world agrees that Sir Richard Branson has an internal self-image that would survive even if he lost every single penny he owned tomorrow.
I believe that anyway.
He has always had money so he has no concept of what it means to NOT have the means to get everything in the world you want. I believe that he would make a way out of thin air if he had to...to get back to his multi-billion dollar status if he ever lost everything.
I think we should all take a lesson from him and live our lives as if we had (or can possess) everything we want in life.
That's the only mindset that's ever gonna' help you get it anyway.
