sigh....masoyashi son did not become rich because of alibaba lmao....alibaba was still pretty small and insignificant throughout most of the 2000s.....alibaba only blew up in the 2010s........before that no one even knew what alibaba was..did u guys forget?ask anyone before 2010 what was alibaba...... yes softbank did lose 97 percent of its value in the 2000 crash but it was still worth a few billions lol!!!!!!????masoyashi son was still a billionaire....he was far from broke...... and softbank continued to grow stronger throughout the 2000s until its share price reached 1200 JPY in 2010......which means at that time softbank was already worth 20 billion US dollars 4 years before Alibaba IPO!!!!!! Softbank was a giant in telecoms in Japan, it did not need alibaba to become rich......Masoyashi Son was already filthy rich without alibaba...... even without alibaba masoyashi son will still be worth 5 to 10 billion or so comfortably in 2010........of course alibaba took him to the next level,jeff bezos level but..... my god,the consipracy theories the media and everyone takes and runs with...... In 2009 alibaba revenues was only 3 billion yuan or around 400 million USD......do u know how small is that?apple make 56 billion in PROFITS every year........amazon has revenues of more than 100 billion USD.....

Outside of riding Alibaba to riches, it doesn’t sound like Masayoshi Son has had great success in anything other than convincing other investors to back him - presumably in the the hope that lightning will strike a second time. But he now seems to be making large, risky bets to recoup losses on a series of earlier dud investments. That reminds me more of an amateur gambler in Vegas than a visionary investor.

softbank era before alibaba and till alibaba is great.after that most of softbank investment are sucks.

the problem with being softbank is that they invest in growth and disruptive start ups but those start ups are only pushing for the exit, the payday. And after the softbank payday, their ideas aren't really that much bigger than what they sold if at all

So basically Masa Son is Gold Roger
