British billionaire Richard Branson had his legs shaved, put on lipstick and squeezed into a tight red skirt on May 12 to honor a bet by serving as a flight attendant on an AirAsia charity flight from Perth, Australia, to Malaysia.
But after deliberately dumping a tray of orange juice on the lap of AirAsia chief Tony Fernandes, Branson was sacked.
The Virgin Group founder, Branson lost a bet to Fernandes in 2010 after they wagered that their Formula One racing teams would finish ahead of each other, and Fernandes’ team landed two spots above Branson’s.
“I always wanted to be an air hostess,” Branson said.
But Fernandes declared after about six-hour flight on his budget airline that Branson’s skills as an attendant were “rubbish.”
