Necker Island
English Billionaire, Sir Richard Branson, 61, his family and
20 celeb party guests have escaped injury after his luxury
Carribean home on Necker Island (owned by Branson)
was hit by lightning!Fortunately nobody was injured-
all on the island took safety in another property! It's reported
that English Hollywood actress, Kate Winslet and her boyfriend
were on the island at the time of the incident, I hear that they
have fled the island!
It's reported that the blaze has completely destroyed Branson's
multi-million pound home- his office has been left in tatters
and the house is still on fire, however the blaze is under control.

Sir Richard Branson
Branson bought Necker Island in 1979 for a fraction of what it's
worth today!! He invested a reported £10 million in order to turn
it into a luxury island retreat where the rich and famous could escape
the media glare of the paparazzi. Branson built several luxury homes
on his private island- the homes are rented out to celeb guests for
a reported £55,000 per day!!
The fire damage to Branson's property destroyed irreplaceable
items such as family photos.. I have every confidence that
Sir Richard can rebuild his dream home but it will certainly
take some time!
Thankfully everyone on the island is safe!
