British billionaire Richard Branson, best known as the adventurous founder of the Virgin Group, experienced an unusual moment on the streets of New York City. While promoting his latest initiative, ‘Doorbell of Dreams,’ the 75-year-old business tycoon attempted to stop passersby for Voxpop, only to be repeatedly ignored. Despite being a global face in the business, it appears that the New Yorkers failed to recognise him. In the viral Instagram reel shared by collaborator Simon Squibb, he was captured being ignored by women. In the footage, Branson approached a series of pedestrians with a polite, “Can I ask you a question,” only to be ignored repeatedly. However, it did end well for him as he encountered a young dreamer. Meanwhile, Squibb, filming the ordeal, chimed in with a lighthearted quip, “A bit of rejection is healthy.”
