Branson agreed to the terms after losing a bet to Malaysian airline mogul Tony Fernandes. Both men wagered their new Formula One racing teams would finish ahead of each other in last year's season.
Fernandes' budget carrier AirAsia said in a statement Monday that a "successful bidder would be invited" to shave Branson.
