Richard Branson admits to Ecstasy and sex on a plane

The billionaire entrepreneur admitted taking Ecstasy and cocaine, as well as joining the "mile-high club."

Richard Branson admits to Ecstasy and sex on a plane The Virgin tycoon Sir Richard Branson told GQ magazine that he has experimented with Ecstasy once. The mogul said at the interview: "I took Ecstasy once, but it didn't have a massive effect on me."

Branson, whose airlines were the first to introduce double beds in airplanes, also admits of having sex during a flight. "We got chatting and it went a bit further. And it was every man's dream, to be honest. The problem with plane loos generally is that they are very small, and the acrobatics can't take too long because there's no room and people start banging on the door," Brandon described his adventure. Sir Branson said he was only 19 years old then.

Richard Branson went on admitting he has done cocaine before, and claims that the first person to teach him how to roll a joint was Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones.

The Virgin founder is currently married for the second time and has two children. His daughter, Holly, is rumoured to have a relationship with Prince William, but Branson denied the speculations, saying they are "just friends".

Among the many Virgin brands, the mogul also owns "VirginGames", a gambling website targeting predominantly U.K. citizens.
