Captain Sir Tom Moore, the World War II veteran whose fundraising efforts for U.K. healthcare workers made him a national hero, has died after testing positive for Covid-19. He was 100. In the early months of the pandemic, Captain Tom set out to raise £1,000 for Britain’s NHS by walking 100 laps of his backyard. His quest went viral, eventually raising £33 million ($40 million) with donations from as far away as the U.S. and Japan. When Captain Tom finished his 100th lap on April 16, a military honor guard lined the path. In July he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in a socially distanced ceremony at Windsor Castle.

Branson now has a record net worth of $7.8 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire’s Index, with more than half of his fortune coming from his stake in Virgin Galactic. Link in bio for more.
