The Rebel Billionaire
*** Shopping-Tip: The Rebel Billionaire
{{spoiler}}
'''''The Rebel Billionaire: Branson's Quest for the Best''''' was a
Reality television reality show for
Fox Broadcasting Company's fall
2004 season. The premise for the series is that
billionaire Richard Branson, founder of
Virgin Group Virgin Worldwide, challenges 16 contestants to tasks that will prove to him which is most qualified to take over as president of Virgin Worldwide. This format is strongly derivative of popular
NBC reality show ''
The Apprentice'', though as well as business-related tasks it also incorporates many tough physical challenges, reflecting Branson's love of
Stunt performer daredevil stunts. Each week also saw the contestants travel to a different country, whereas ''The Apprentice'' is just situated in one area. Shawn Nelson, founder and CEO of
LoveSac[http://www.lovesac.com/], is the winner of the first and, so far, only season.
The one hour show premiered on
November 9,
2004 on the
Fox network, and aired ten episodes. Though the ratings were disappointing compared to
Donald Trump Trump's hit show, Fox aired the show in its entirety, and the show has been aired in other countries like
Australia as well as Branson's home of the
United Kingdom United Kingdom.
