What does "affordable" mean when you're Richard Branson? We sifted through some of the world’s priciest properties and looked at a resort’s or hotel’s lowest rates (not necessarily the penthouse or presidential suite, of course, which are always more expensive than standard rooms) to see what the most "basic" overnight stay in one of these not-at-all basic properties would be like.
