The Rebel Billionaire Conclusion

January 12, 2005


Well, it’s over. I guessed right and Shawn won. Overall, it was a pretty good show that I enjoyed watching.

The one thing that gets me is that the prize wasn’t really what we were led to believe the whole time. He’s not going to be President of Virgin Worldwide. Mr. Branson is creating a position at Virgin that “effectively” makes him President of Virgin Worldwide – he’ll “share” the job with Richard Branson. And it’s only for 3 months.

But, after those 3 months, IF Shawn has done an outstanding job, Shawn will be named President of a new to be determined Virgin company and be given an equity stake in it. He also got 1 million dollars. A pretty cool prize – but, not exactly what we had been led to believe. You can read more at Reality TV World.

I did a little look around and found that Shawn has a personal website, featuring a blog. Also, if you look down and to the left on his blog, you can find links to all of the cast member sites.

    I watched it, and it was an OK show. It always felt more like a "action" gameshow (ala Fear Factor) than an actual "job interview". It couldn’t compete with The Apprentice, I guess. Branson seems like a good bloke and what a great way to get brand exposure in North America – a market Virgin is still not too well known in (compared to UK, Australia etc).

    Yeah, yeah… I agree… seems like a good guy, good way to get exposure.
