How convenient indeed...a fire (insured) breaks out right before a massive flood (uninsured) would destroy the home.

No money out of his pocket except for some photographs (digital format stored I’m sure) and notebooks.

New home on the insurance company dime. Hard time for an insurance adjuster to prove it not true considering everything is demolished.

Just gotta know how to F%CK the system. Nice job!

Is there a reason you’re linking this BS headline with a story from August 23rd? Irma wasn’t a twinkle in the ocean’s eye then.

He put several people deliberately in harm’s way just so he could brag about it on the BBC and elsewhere. Watch for his interviews.

I post on a recreation board on FB and was so p!ssed off when someone said they hoped Irma destroyed Mara Largo, with Trump in it. I would never think of posting that about ANYONE, even zero. Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.

Ps. The board is non-political so the admin deleted the post, but by then several people had “liked” it . Grrr.

Branson is rich enough to not need insurance. Congress will build Brandson a new mansion.

I see from another post, that Branson lost a house to fire, then a different one to Irma. Would have been nice for OP to post a link to a story explaining that.

Bitch to be his house recently. I’m pretty sure his remaining billions will comfort him.

That is the weirdest pic EVER.

Could you imagine Ike or Truman posing like that?

Obama was the presidential “bottom of the barrel”. (I hope)

Let's hold the tears for Richard Branson.

Branson has the financial resources to build it all back again. He can build it 100 times more if he has to and still be a very rich man.

If I was in a similar situation, I'd probably ride the storm out too. He likely had a reinforced bunker that would withstand just about anything. For him, this whole deal was more adventure than survival.

Why black out the name? Was it a sanitized FOIA request?

Re named black out. I found it on the interwebz with it already blacked out. Making the Facebook rounds.

Guess someone thought it’d be doxxing to out the dude.

I wonder if his wine cellar is water tight? If so it is probably also air tight. I wonder how long they will have to stay down there. Hmmm.

He’s going to soak the insurance companies for all kinds of stuff that wasn’t there.

Didn’t he tweet before the storm that he would ride it out in his concrete wine cellar.????

The implication is that this rich twit will be sipping fine vintage wine while the ordinary “belongers” who live in the islands will be fighting to survive.

I don’t begrudge him the money, but this was a pretty insensitive message to the world.

Congress paying for a British Citizen’s residence in the British Virgin Islands? How so?

Gas lines ripped loose enough to fill a low area with gas, likely propane. All it needs is a source of ignition. Not too uncommon during these storms.

Sorry, didn’t mean to imply you did it.
Just an observation. The guy is a POS.
