Representing Great Britain, by way of the Caribbean tax haven where he officially resides, is bearded serial entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson. Much like Branson — who was once prosecuted for tax evasion early in his career — Bezos is endlessly criticised for his firm's tax affairs. Bezos, who founded Blue Origin around the same time, and was not touting for customers, by contrast chose to keep his trap shut. A petition, 'Don't let Jeff Bezos return to Earth', currently boasts 153,000 signatures. PS: Neither Branson nor Bezos can fly anything like as high as the world's second wealthiest man, the Tesla founder Elon Musk.
