It doesn’t actually work that way. Even Virgin Australia is only 10% owned by Sir Richard Branson. I think the other 90% is owned by Tigerair. Virgin Group - Wikipedia

That’s a phone carrier like AT&T, Verizon, etc. And there are more companies, but Branson doesn’t have all the 100% of the stock of those companies. The Virgin Group it’s a conglomerate company.
There were also other Virgin airline brands, but they are not longer operative.

All Virgin airlines are not entirely owned my Richard Branson/Virgin Group, there are other airlines with stakes in those airlines. Virgin America has been purchased in a multi-billion dollar deal by Alaska Airlines.

Why do they keep the name then. Does it get them more service?
