Masayoshi Son was once the SECOND richest man in the world, after BillG, at 70 billion dollars! The guy who ran Hikari Tsushin (mobile phones, internet) is even more interesting! He was worth about 40 billion at the Hong Kong bubble peak, and is now worth a lot less. But it's cool to be up there once! [Edit] Relevance - Son owned a lot of Yahoo (not just Japan) and was worth tons for it. #618 Yasumitsu Shigeta is the other guy, and is just up there due to being bubble cool!
