Sir Richard Branson won't ever be short of cash, but it seems he'll be prepared in the unlikely case he is. 

With a fortune worth around $7.6 billion Sir Richard says he is more than comfortable to pick up the bill when he's out socialising.

"Obviously when you're in that lucky position where you can afford [to pick up the bill] you should do it," Sir Richard told news.com.au.

"But one of the bizarre things about being successful and making money is the amount of times restaurants will say, 'oh, don't worry Richard, we don't expect you to pay'.

"It's funny because I'm like, 'Hang on, I've worked all my life to be able to pay and now you don't want me to pay?'

"Surely there's someone else who would warrant that more than me. Picking up the tab is a luxury I can afford to do."
