He’s pure genius. Those analysts are just jealous.
Sprint Investors roll eyes lol
Ok then why would he wants to put more money into wework even after the $8B lost of their own mkney, the recent 2000 people layoff and a payout to the guy who screwed up the company with $1.7B? Hide or answer, up to you😁
This comment didn’t age well. Lmao
@@paintrends lmao i just watched about the wework thing and tbh why anyone would invest in that weird ceos company smh
Lee Ron so what wework didn’t work out who cares. That’s part of it, not everything works out perfectly. Look at his other investments.
You don't (briefly) become a richest man in the world, squandered 99% of your wealth and then became super rich (again) just by luck... I'll be lucky to get 5% p.a. return on my stock portfolio on a regular basis..
Invest in Indian stock market...you will get 12-15% p.a return easily
regardless of winning or losing this man is the walking definition of put your money where your mouth is.
I consider him a genious he almost doubled his money on flipkart withing 11 months....invested 2.5 billion in flipkart and sold for 4 billion after 11 months...he understands the ongoing bubble of valuations.
This dude must have nerves of steel.
His recent success is Flipkart.
yungdung samten true he made billions from it
Wasn’t that what Walmart bought
@@inthedms82 Yes, we lost India's own Amazon.
Hritik Juyal now Ola
That not success
that was unsuccessful project.
The definition of: diversificated investments. Son is the king on this subject.
It is all in tech. How is that diversified?
@James Franko yes! finally someone agreed with me. He is getting shame on because of Wework and $1.7 Billion to Neuman and more billions into the company. Keep it up Warren Buffett of Tech! ignore these trolls and haters.
Nope. Interms of Risk related to Tech. I dont think theres much diversification in his case
How much he has to prove ?
He is a genius!!!
Believe it or not .
Everyone acts rich and gangsta until they meet with the Saudi prince.
MASA IS A LEGEND.
Using quite share the full vision of the future that he holds to, but there's a foresight he has that is undeniable. Looking forward to see if the vision fund proves or disproves him.
'There's method in his madness' this line from Hamlet is quite applicable here
"Someone would also say there is madness in his method" from memoirs of sherlock holmes
2:29 and neumann did the same, work like a charm.
he is korean japanese
He's insane.
The guy who created jack ma
Masa is smart and a genius with a few black spots but he would not be able to reach where he is without his genius
He is genius and hardworker... I envy him for acquiring the world... Yet that is all his right to get all of it
What we will get in Singularity, may be incomparable to money today. He is investing for it, the future.
Great & cool article 😎😎😎😎😎
Legend of the century
People those who were born before 1980s had seen very fast technological reform
In India he made investments in Flipkart (similar to Amazon)(sold to Walmart)(3 times return on investment), he made investments in Paytm (e wallet company)(according to me will lose the race to WhatsApp payment in future or an e wallet called tez (Google co.), And oyo room (cheap hotels)(the founder is even back by Peter Theil...(I don't have opinion abt it because if u wanna book hotel u got lots of options to choose from so I am skeptical abt it)
Nice
Story has changed. It’s time for the next chapter
Negative interest rate near your bank. Housing mortgage rates Higher in 8 years. New GM suburban 90,000$ only.
wow Masa breathed life into Alibaba o.o! this guy has a piece of everyones pie goddamn
Given his position, could he have sold all his stock during the rise of the dot com bubble and rebuy at the bottom? How does that work?
Masayoshi son is always going to be write in his investments
Perhaps less informed critics r not smart enough to visualise the future n take great risks.
Masayoshi Son has nothing to lose but a business bet the outcome of which might outlive him, plus tons of money which nobody really needs to live.
By waxing on and off
Invest in tech start up is quite lucrative just wait until ipo then a big profit
its a game , just one that is the magic.
In India he has invested in 7 out of 10 startups like ola which is biggest player in cab buiseness
Oyo which is world's 3 rd largest hotel chain
Flipkart the e commerce giant
ZOMATO the leader in food delivery
And list is endless
He's grappling in the dark. But it's better than not trying anything.
Next Emily Chang will be writing books on how she needs to bring down Tokyo.
He is partly genius and partly lucky. Genius because he is a numbers guy. He just manages numbers in his mind. And lucky because he's been able to get to the right place and time and with the right people to get his fund going. In the next 7 to 8 years, a massive shakeup will happen in the dotcom business. There is too much dumb money waiting to sink. Probably half of his investments or more, will sink and end up as total failures and he knows it. WeWork is just one of the initial symptoms and he knows it. But once the massive shakeup is finished, say from 100 companies he invests, probably 10 of those might end up becoming stellar successes, more than enough to compensate for the losses. These guys are betting on at least a decade to two. This guy navigated the dotcom bubble and this next bubble is probably the opportunity he was waiting for, for all of these years. He will be called stupid and idiotic, but he's probably seeing things from a different vantage point and so are his backers. I doubt that a guy putting a hundred billion dollars of which 69% is of other people is not doing due diligence. This report makes it seem as if he is stupid.
WeWork ! How did he not see how this company model was doomed ?
The reason why all these companies signed with Masa san is that in that room they are being held by the Yakuza.... lol bad joke i know ----
How is the investment in Uber and WeWork work out for him?
... Political & Economic Mafias and elite that's how he got the financial support, and most business already were in business and making profit
Loses 70 billion in the dotcom crash
Bloomberg: "Is this man a genius?" "He does seem to have uncanny foresight."
...way to cherry pick his successes.
and then he got back up again, what do you mean by cherry picking? or do you want us to focus on something that happened 2 decades ago when he's still active today?
Excude me for my rudeness. That is a stupid comment. 1st the $70Bil loss is mostly stock value not actual cash or assets. since he mainly invest in Tech he was hit the most that's all. He is not your typical billionaire who sole focus on keping and expanding their wealth, but takes massive risks to invest and promote technology that he likes and careabout and should be praised for it. I believe he could even spend all of his personal wealth to promote major breakthrough like space exploration with no profit sight
Offer them tons of money
i need to meet masayoshi son
Nanomachines son
Bloody hell this was hilarious. xD
Mr.son was never lucky think about dot-com bubble he is a genius.
ARM is future
Shaking to Shaken!
lol, some of these comments havent aged well. WeWork making Son look like a tool
Masa💙
His name is Masayoshi hmmm
The man is a gambler. Go hard our go home.
Exactly. It's crazy people can't see that
2020: How wework and pandemic is shaking up masayoshi son
He lost money in Uber and WeWork. The dude got lucky with Alibaba and then made billions.
So lucky he lost 70B in a single crash
He didn't lose 70B. He never had that much money. Bloomberg with their trash research. His company lost 70B, where he owed a large stake. So he lost a portion of 70B.
This guy is also a genius who took a lot of risks and made brilliant choices. But a 5 minutes video is a waste. you are not serious
What a difference a year makes 😂
The umbrella corporation
He's reckless - this won't end well for him...
Well it won't because he has multiple investments and all of them are not going to fail. If he loses a 30 billion investment it means nothing to them when they have other investments
you dont get lucky twice
His concept is buy it all
This video hasn't aged very well !! XD
If this is Son, then where is the Dad?
Lol this didn’t age well, after the Wework fallout, I’m leaning towards ‘he’s lucky’
Nope, he is genius, look into Indian Startup scene brother, almost all the Indian unicorns owes its success to softbank, flipkart gave him a return of almost 90%.
Wework is still running...the last time i checked...so wat r u crying about ? He havent lost anything if he didnt sell his shares ...he will only loose when he give up on it...
Easy to take risk on shitty investment when it not your money
Still you think he is just lucky ?
u dont get to become a billionaire just base on luck alone
Who's his dad?
It's actually a pretty common Korean last name.
But yes, it's pretty hilarious... even more so because his dad is also a Son.
Masayoshi
Actually, he's ancestors were Han Chinese, then they moved to Korea, after that, he's grandfather moved to Japan. He was bullied in school because of his identity, so his father, who got rich by making sake, sent him to U.S. when he was 16. He went back to Japan in 80s and became a real Japanese by law.
Masayoshi Dad
Stratton Studios Yes!
FYI Uber and we work are not making a profit.
FYI most tech startups who are considered giants now have not posted a single dollar of profit e.g. Grab, Uber , Flipkart etc. Their stock value remains high and they continue to attract investors because of their upside and their rate of customer acquisition
@@surendaniel tell that to wework 47 billion that now valued only below 10 bio.
Alibaba saved him
he stole all the money from regular traders wake up people
How's that 'Shake, shake, shake' going on? He had a few great investments but let's be real, he's had a thousand clunkers, too.
He's a lucky genius
The more you practice the luckier you get.
Dude just got lucky cause he invested in Ali Baba for the stupidest reason...and the Chinese government wanted their own version of Amazon and invested in Ali Baba while keeping Amazon out.
Lolll, laughs in WeWork
Wework...is still running...warren buffet said ...even if the company loose everything and you still holding ur shares it means u didnt loose anything...and masa saw that wework shares are tumbling he continued buying shares....Genius moves
This dude bought Sprint, ran it into the ground, achieved 1/10th of the success of John Legere over at T-Mobile and now is bailing out his failures and selling to Tmo. If he is a 'great businessman' we certainly havent seen it here in America.
552mustang that merger is actually a win for him
If you use uber in the USA, if you own a smartphone, laptop or Ipad, the chip inside is produced by ARM, if you shop on amazon, most items are ordered from suppliers on Alibaba and Alixpress and then branded for the American market..In America today, if you want to efficiently coordinate teamwork on projects to move quickly, you use the app Slack..So Uber, ARM, Alibaba (which is also the tech company with the biggest Tech IPO EVER in the US) and last we have Slack. Americans are using his products, most are simply unaware.
쿠팡 사장과 손정의는 검머외!!!
We Work.?
lmao
💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
負債額は１５兆円を超えており、今年の銀行への返済金は1.5兆円で2020年にも同じく1.5兆円の計3兆円の返済がある。それを知ってかインド人の後継者には逃げられ、携帯電話事業の方は設備投資の遅れやらエラーが目立ってきた。国内から借りられる所が無いと見るや10兆円ファンドなるものを設立し、借金を返すの自転車操業である。
10円 = 👍
wework =WeDon'tWork
Who's here after the WeWork debacle??
What exactly is uber? A taxi company? why would anyone want to invest in such a stupid company.
Because uber use technology.....
Son Goku isn't that smart
!
The six stick sporadically tow because teeth analogically fax unlike a colorful carriage. second-hand, vigorous step-brother
We Japaneses refuse all products and services of his corrupted company.
Do you mind elaborating? I've never heard of him until this video, which makes him out to look pretty great.
ULTRA KWON because he is ethnically Korean and some Japanese hate Koreans
Altair That’s really unfortunate. I do not understand the racism between these two countries. I’m Korean, and I’ve always had the utmost respect and appreciation for the culture. I’m a huge fan of Japanese lit - favorite author being Osamu Dazai. And in fact, I recently had the most incredible privilege of visiting Japan, and I loved every minute. The people there were incredible. Hard to imagine that there are those who harbor negativity.
Cavin K Lol say whatever you want.
Except that you don't speak for Japanese, and the fact softbank service and products are been used everywhere in Japan
His WeWork investment must be going great. Very successful man.
