You sure about that, mate? He's had his fair share of turkeys, paid for out of the few that achieved take-off speed. He's a sharp operator and an opportunist, but don't let's lick his boots for the sake of it. As far as the Rock is concerned he's spotted that Gordon and Alistair are desperate for anyone to take it off their hands, so he can get a good deal there.
Also, most of his brands aren't owned or run by him, they pay him for the brand. The airline and train company are half-owned (by solid professional outfits Stagecoach and Singapore Airlines respectively), Virgin Radio and Virgin Music are nothing to do with him any more.
