Branson’s ‘naked’ truth

The early-morning fire that ravaged billionaire Richard Branson’s Caribbean island getaway Monday forced him to flee in the buff, he said yesterday.

“I tried to get some sympathy for the fact that I’d jumped out of bed naked and rushed to the Great House in pitch darkness and hurricane-force winds and ran straight in to a cactus bush,” Branson blogged.

Sympathy “was not forthcoming,” added Branson, who said none of his 20 guests were injured in the fire.
