The billionaire dad of two said though he has started hundreds of companies in his lifetime, he is very fortunate to be a father and grandad of five children.
“However difficult it may be though, I’ve realised over the years that raising children is one of the few things even more rewarding than building a company.
"I have been fortunate enough to start hundreds of companies in my career, but I’m far more fortunate to be the father to two beautiful children and five grandchildren,” he said.
