Unlike Masayoshi Son, who was the Chief Executive Officer of SoftBank in the 90s, who had the misfortune of losing $70 billion in one day. SoftBank is a holding company involved in tech space, and at one time Son’s net worth was rising at the rate of $10 billion a week.

Son is still a billionaire, despite losing $70billionYoshikazu Tsuno/AFP via Getty He recently spoke on an episode of The David Rubenstein Show, saying: &quot;My personal net worth was increasing by $10 billion per week.&quot; &quot;Then I became richer than Bill Gates. Before I talked to anyone else, our stock started crashing. So six months after that our share price went down 99 per cent.&quot; Son is still a billionaire today, so it’s not all bad.

&quot;We almost went bankrupt and somehow I survived,&quot; he said, explaining that he then began making a series of less risky investments including Vodafone in Japan. &quot;That time I said &#39;now is the time to go to the next stage&#39;, which is the… mobile internet. So, I had to go get the license of the government for the Spectrum or acquire Vodafone Japan.&quot; &quot;I convinced the bank that I can turn around Vodafone Japan and it will become successful with great cash flow.
