The legend goes that Masayoshi Son wanted to fund the future's ideas, so he created a $30 BN dollar fund. That's right, $30 BN.

But just before he met with potential investors, he fiddled with the slides and changed the amount. The fund wouldn't be $30 BN. It would be $100 BN.

The investors laughed out loud. He didn't. "Life's too short to think small", he said.
And nothing about his journey to becoming one of the world's most prominent billionaires has been small.
His company, Softbank, is a giant in multiple industries, with aggressive investment and fast expansion. But also, controversy and very costly mistakes. We'll tell you about Softbank in this episode of Forensics.
