The Unicorn Hunter: The Craziest Billionaire EVER

[@MagnatesMedia]

🚀 Grow a faceless KZbin channel like MagnatesMedia: magnates.media/youtube (Make money without having to be on camera... all from making cool videos about whatever you want!) Hey legends, I haven’t heard anyone talk about Masayoshi Son’s crazy life story before - hopefully you’ll find it as fascinating as I did. By the way, our video sponsor moomoo is offering such an awesome welcome bonus for MagnatesMedia viewers, so I highly recommend checking out the link below. Enjoy the free stocks/money! ;) Try Moomoo and get up to 5 free stocks valued up to $3500 each!: j.moomoo.com/007nhD Oh and in case anyone is confused by the title, a unicorn is the name for a company valued at a billion dollars or more. 😂🦄 P.S. Masa, if you’re watching this, MagnatesMedia could do with a few billion dollars of investment as well, so hit me up.

[@cinecfull3733]

He did get good financial advise by a future "competitor" . Thats probably the bigger Trick

[@mikhailshi]

Yeah, he also ignored a lot of advice as is evident from the video

[@avamasquerade]

Or...and hear me out here, a couple members of the ruling elite were bored one day and placed a "She's All That" bet on Masa to liven sht up. Like one pompous dbag says to the other spoilt taint drum: "I'll bet I can turn anyone into a billionaire!" Other guy: ...anyone?? "Anyone! Even....hmmm....oh! Even that one idjeeit with the entirely unneeded traffic light invention for color blind people!" "Omg! That dude? He's legit *still* bragging about that "invention" lawl, omg dude, you're so on! Then Masa got fair ladied by the illuminaughty and the rest is history.

[@oddpoppetesq.3467]

​@@avamasqueradeok Alice. Maybe go back down your rabbit hole.....

[@bizzyb0t]

Too bad you didn't mention that when Masa Son was younger, and had just started Soft Bank, he helped a sushi restaurant. Near his parents' house was a small struggling sushi restaurant. Masa Son went there one day, and thoroughly enjoyed the sushi. The restaurant was struggling. He paid the owners and the staff to relocate near the Soft Bank main office because he felt they'd thrive there. He was correct. I believe it's still around as an upscale sushi place. It seems to me that Masa Son has always put his money where his mouth is.

One year after this video has been posted, seems like Masayoshi was right about AI. With Chat GPT 4 launching and exploding in popularity, he has definetly made a good bet on AI.

[@kylekgh]

Toe be fair though, I think anyone with an eye for tech knew AI would be big it was always a matter of when. Same with Robots, V R , Solar system expansion. As long as we dont blow ourselves up first or have a major world disaster these things will eventually be perfcted and become massively popular. All simply a matter of time for the tech to catch up to the vision

[@cinecfull3733]

One yes, but not many at the same time. There are surely millions with the same intelligence that failed. He did have a lot of luck in the early days of his career. Most people dont get good financial advise of a big businessman even if they try just as hard. And there was a good chance of his first 30 inventions to not get of. Even if its a good idea. Thats the problem of the system. He is still inspiring tho

He’s brilliant. If you’re not willing to risk, you’re not willing to succeed.

[@ぷードーモ]

crazy thing is, in his Japanese interviews he does talk quite humbly, but he also talks like he's telling a story rather than explaining his business decisions. Like, if someone showed me his japanese interviews and said 'this is a director coming out with a new movie' I'd believe it no doubt. So to me he feels more like a dreamer, like he's chasing a sci-fi vision of the future and he wants to immediately turn into a reality....

From no risk, no riches to high risk, high return. His mindset was everything. He was confident and courageous always aiming for something big no matter how much it costed. He was not afraid to lose everthing. He was afraid if he didn't invest in every potential business opportunities. His failures told no tale but his successes are history.

He did not even have Japanese nationality until the 1980s. Nevertheless, he became the richest Japanese.

Here's the cruel reality in the world of investing. You had one good hit, you are anointed as Gods. Like Bill Ackman, who has been losing money for like 8 yrs in a row, made on good short trade back in 2020, now he is a investment guru and a spiritual advisor. Same for Masa Son. Softbank had one, like only one good investment, and that was Alibaba. All the rest of their investment was "lack luster", to put it mildly. So moral of the story, just one good shot, and before and after that, no one cares, especially the media: they have a "talking head" they can sell, they will milk it til the kingdom comes. How well has Softbank been doing in the past like 10 years? Yeah, what do you think about Masa Son now?
