Richard Branson Is NOT Leaving His Private Caribbean Island For Hurricane Irma

Billionaire Richard Branson is refusing to leave his private Caribbean Island ahead of Hurricane Irma, one of the strongest hurricanes ever recorded. Instead, he’s choosing to stick it out.

He says that most storms tend to drift north, which is why he’s expecting this one to do the same.

“We had some lovely guests staying on Necker Island who have cut their trip short for safety reasons, and another group of guests have also postponed. I will be on Necker alongside our team, as I have been on the three times we have had hurricanes over the past 30 years,” he said.

He added: “[H]opefully all people and animals can keep out of harm’s way in the coming days.”

Eek… I don’t know about that one, Richard!
