From Losing $70B to Backing Alibaba — Son’s Legendary High-Stakes Journey 💼

[kevin1]

Masayoshi Son’s career has been a rollercoaster of historic wins and colossal losses.

He lost $70 billion during the dot-com crash — the biggest personal loss ever recorded — yet a $20M bet on Alibaba turned into $150B, cementing his legend.

Now, at 68, Son’s doubling down again — this time on AI, the same way he bet on the internet decades ago. For Son, risk isn’t a bug in his system — it is the system.

Every legend has scars — Son’s risk-taking always comes full circle.

$70B loss and still betting big — true definition of conviction.
