Description

Japan's Masayoshi Son is a name that has become synonymous with risk, innovation, and unparalleled success. This biography takes you on a wild ride through his life, from his humble beginnings in a Korean slum in post-war Japan to his current status as one of the world's most influential investors. With a career spanning over two decades, Son has made and lost fortunes, investing or controlling assets worth $1 trillion, and has played a pivotal role in shaping the global tech landscape. From his early days as a young entrepreneur to his current role as the CEO of SoftBank, Son's story is one of unbridled optimism and a relentless pursuit of the next big thing. With the backing of some of the world's most powerful players, including Donald Trump and Steve Jobs, Son has navigated the complex world of high-stakes finance and technology, always staying one step ahead of the curve. Through exclusive access and cooperation from key players, including Son himself, this book provides a unique and fascinating insight into the life and times of one of the world's most enigmatic figures.
