Childhood dyslexia didn't limit Richard Branson's aspirations or drive. For his efforts, the billionaire Brit is ranked among England's 10 best businessmen and was knighted for his entrepreneurial acumen. At age 20, he started Virgin as a small mail order record company. It's now one of the world's biggest brands - a global empire encompassing more than 200 co-brands, including Britain's second-largest air carrier. Branson takes off soon with his own reality series on Fox TV, The Rebel Billionaire.
