SoftBank: Would you like some money at a $10 billion valuation? Startup: Sure. SoftBank: Here you go. Would you like some more at a $20 billion valuation? Startup: Sure. SoftBank: Here you go. How about a $40 billion valuation? Startup: This is dumb but it’s not like we’re going to say no. SoftBank: Here you go. Startup: Thanks brb buying a yacht. SoftBank: Our mark-to-market investment returns are tremendous, we must be good at this. If SoftBank keeps throwing cash at startups like WeWork, the numbers will start to lose their meaning.
