生平

为韩裔日本人第三代。其祖父孙钟庆，由朝鲜半岛移居日本九州。其父孙三宪，改用日本姓氏“安本”，定居于日本佐贺县鸟栖市朝鲜人聚落中，是一位企业家，以酿造私酒致富。其母李玉子，家中生有四名子女，孙正义为次男。孙正义出生时，取名安本正义。因为身为朝鲜后裔，幼年时受到同年纪日本人的歧视。在和日本麦当劳社长藤田田会面过后，孙氏听取其建议开始学习英语和计算机科学。

16岁时，孙氏移居加利福尼亚州，后来进入加州大学伯克利分校，主修经济，还选读了一些电脑课程。他被一份杂志提及的微型芯片吸引着了，19岁的他已认为电脑科技将带起下一轮的商业革命。

留意到一切和微型芯片有关的东西都大有作为，孙氏决定要每天思考至少一个企业想法。他取得一个翻译装置的专利，以一百万美元卖给夏普，这个专利的应用包括夏普的Wizard系列个人数码助理。

孙氏将《太空侵略者》这个游戏引入了大学内。1980年毕业。1981年，孙氏回到日本，创立软件银行，发展了有关电脑的媒体及软件。

1980年代末期，孙氏仍不是日本公民。他的日本妻子随他姓孙。结婚后，法律承认了她的新姓氏，孙正义随之而成为日本公民而不用改姓传统的日本姓氏。1991年，孙正义归化为日本人[来源请求]。

家族

其本贯为一直孙氏，据孙正义本人描述，出自春秋时代的著名兵法家孙武的一族。他的后代移居到朝鲜半岛，传到22世孙钟庆，从韩国大邱市渡海定居在日本，孙家在日本定居已有三代。他的家族说：“孙氏和韩国固有的孙氏不一样，我祖籍和汉民族的孙氏属于同一根源。

Masayoshi Son (孫 正義, Son Masayoshi, born 11 August 1957) is a Japanese billionaire technology entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist. He is the founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of the Japanese holding company SoftBank, CEO of SoftBank Mobile and chairman of UK-based Arm Holdings.

According to Forbes, Son's estimated net worth is US$30 billion, making him the 2nd richest man in Japan.

Son was named the world's 45th most powerful person by Forbes Magazine's List of The World's Most Powerful People.

As of July 2020, Son ranks 32nd on the Forbes list of The World's Billionaires 2020, and ranks 2nd in Japanwith an estimated net worth of $30 billion.

Early life and education

Masayoshi Son was born in Tosu, (鳥栖市, Tosu-shi) a city in the eastern part of Saga Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, Japan.

Son is a 3rd generation "Zainichi Korean", which are ethnic Koreans with permanent residency or citizenship in Japan 

At age 16, Son moved from Japan to California and finished high school in three weeks by taking the required exams at Serramonte High while staying with friends and family in South San Francisco. Son attended the University of California, Berkeley, where he majored in economics and studied computer science. Enamoured by a microchip featured in a magazine, Son at age 19 became confident that computer technology would ignite the next commercial revolution.

His first business endeavours began as a student. With the help of some professors, Son created an electronic translator that he sold to Sharp Corporation for $1.7 million. He made another $1.5 million by importing used video game machines from Japan, on credit, and installing them in dormitories and restaurants. Son pursued his interests in business by securing a meeting with Japan McDonald's president Den Fujita. Taking his advice, Son began studying English and computer science.

Son graduated from Berkeley with a B.A. in Economics in 1980, and started Unison in Oakland, CA, which has since been bought by Kyocera. Son's family had adopted the Japanese surname Yasumoto (安本), and Son had used that surname as a child. He decided to use his Korean surname instead on returning to Japan from the U.S., and became a role model for ethnic Korean children in Japan.

Yahoo! and Alibaba

Son was an early investor in internet firms, buying a share of Yahoo! in 1995 and investing a $20 million stake into Alibaba in 1999. Son's holding company SoftBank owns 29.5% of Alibaba, which is worth around $108.7 billion as of 23 October 2018. Although SoftBank's stake in Yahoo! had dwindled to 7%, Son established Yahoo! BroadBand in September 2001 with Yahoo! Japan in which he still owned a controlling interest. After a severe devaluation of SoftBank's equity, Son was forced to focus his attention on Yahoo! BB and BB Phone. So far, SoftBank has accumulated about $1.3 billion in debt. Yet, Yahoo! BB acquired Japan Telecom, the then third largest broadband and landline provider with 600,000 residential and 170,000 commercial subscribers. Yahoo! BB is now Japan's leading broadband provider.[citation needed] In June 2020, Son stepped down from the Alibaba board.

Arm Holdings

In July 2016, SoftBank announced plans to acquire Arm Holdings for £23.4 billion ($31.4 billion) which would be the largest ever purchase of a European technology company. In September 2016, SoftBank announced that the transaction was complete. The total acquisition price was approximately £24 billion ($34 billion).

Sprint Corporation

Through his holdings in SoftBank, Son bought a 76% share in Sprint. SoftBank has further accumulated shares in Sprint to about 84% ownership.

Investment in solar power

In response to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011, Masayoshi Son criticized the nuclear industry for creating "the problem that worries Japanese the most today", and engaged in investing in a nationwide solar power network for Japan. In March 2018, it was announced that Son was investing in the biggest ever solar project, a 200GW development planned for Saudi Arabia as part of its Vision 2030.

In July 2018, coverage indicated that Son "would underwrite most of 100 GW" of a planned 275 GW of new renewable provision in India by 2027.

Personal life

Son met his wife, Masami Ohno, while in university. They have two daughters. He lives in Tokyo in a three-story mansion that is valued at $50 million and that has a golf range with technology to mimic the weather conditions and temperature of the world’s top golf courses. He has also bought a home near Silicon Valley in Woodside, California, that cost him $117 million. He owns the Softbank Hawks, a professional Japanese baseball team. Son has three brothers and is the second oldest of the siblings. His youngest brother, Taizo Son, is a serial entrepreneur and investor, having founded GungHo Online Entertainment and the venture capital firm Mistletoe.

Philanthropy

In 2011 Son pledged to donate 10 billion yen ($120 million) and his remaining salary until retirement to support victims of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.

Vision Fund Investments

SoftBank's investment vehicle, the $100 billion Vision Fund, invests in emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics and the internet of things. It aims to double its portfolio of AI companies from 70 to 125. It also invests in companies to revolutionise real estate, transportation, and retail. Son makes personal connections with the CEOs of all companies funded by Vision Fund. Son plans to raise $100 billion for a new fund every few years, investing about $50 billion a year in startups. A second Vision Fund is currently in the works with a target of $108 billion, of which $38 billion would come from Softbank itself. As of 2020, the fund has invested in 88 companies including ride-share firm Grab, Coupang and Paytm.
