After rumors of his interest in acquiring Playboy sent its stock on a short flight, Virgin Atlantic CEO Richard Branson said today his company has no interest in buying the magazine.
“Reports that Virgin Group is looking to buy Playboy Enterprises are untrue,” a Virgin spokesperson said in an-email to Reuters.
On Wednesday, the Daily Mail reported Branson was “tipped as a potential buyer.” The story followed a report in the New York Post that Playboy was quietly floating an asking price of $300 million, or about three times its market cap, for the company.

Put a playboy and a knight together and you’ll get folks talking. That appears to be the case with unconfirmed media reports that Hugh Hefner is considering a $300 million offer from Virgin Media’s Richard Branson for Playboy Enterprises Inc.
Those follow last week’s reports that the publisher of the iconic girlie magazine was being shopped to private-equity firms.
The stock for Playboy closed Tuesday at $2.98, up about 3.8 percent

New pictures are online of Richard Branson cavorting around his private island Necker with a naked supermodel.
Branson was posing for photographer Stephane Gautronneau when he asked Branson if model Denni Parkinson, Gautronneau’s girlfriend who was present at the time, could get in some pictures.
She clung to the billionaire’s back while he kite surfed and also lolled around on the sand as Branson stood on the shore in a white linen shirt
