Current ventures include the Virgin Atlantic airline (a major competitor to British Airways in prestige), the chain of Virgin Megastores retail shops, and Virgin financial services.
Branson first achieved notoriety with Virgin Records, a recording label that introduced bands like the Sex Pistols and Boy George to the world music scene. Branson was knighted by the Queen for his business prowess and exuberance for the spirit of the United Kingdom. Known for his wacky exploits used to promote his businesses, Branson is keen on playful antagonisms, exemplified by his "Mine is bigger than yours" decals on the new Airbus A340-600 jets used by his airline.
