The Inertia

Do you know how rich Richard Branson is? Oh boy, is he ever rich. So rich he ends up in odd situations, like being asked to go kiting with a naked supermodel clinging to his back. So rich he’s a Sir. He’s an English knight, for God’s sake! He’s so rich, in fact, that he owns his very own 80-acre island in the British Virgin Islands called Necker Island.

Necker is a paradise in every sense of the word. Of course, since he is a businessman (not a businessman… he’s a business, man), the island functions as a resort, but you cannot afford it unless you are Richard Branson, Obama on vacation, or Kai Lenny, apparently. Lenny, that man of the water who does basically anything, spent a week there recently, doing watery things and, if you’ll skip to the end of the clip above, apparently teaching Sir Richard himself a thing or two about the intricacies of kite foiling.
