孫正義 Masayoshi Son
日本 令和  (1957年八月11日)
Son Masayoshi
出生地： 日本佐賀縣鳥棲市


孫正義（日語 : 孫 正義，韓語 : 손정의，1957年8月11日－），生於日本佐賀縣鳥棲市，軟銀集團的創辦人兼社長，軟銀股份有限公司會長。據《福布斯》雜志報導，他在2011年擁有81億美元淨資産，從而名列日本富豪榜第二位。孫正義在《福布斯》2019年億萬富翁排行榜中名列第43位，資産達到216億美元。孫正義曾在20世紀90年代互聯網泡沫的雅虎估價最高時，超過微軟創辦人比爾·蓋茨成為一天時間世界首富。依靠軟銀數次對阿裏巴巴集團的控股與投資回報，成為日本首富。

生平

為韓裔日本人第三代。其祖父孫鐘慶，由朝鮮半島移居日本九州。其父孫三憲，改用日本姓氏“安本”，定居於日本佐賀縣鳥棲市朝鮮人聚落中，是一位企業傢，以釀造私酒致富。其母李玉子，傢中生有四名子女，孫正義為次男。孫正義出生時，取名安本正義。因為身為朝鮮後裔，幼年時受到同年紀日本人的歧視。在和日本麥當勞社長藤田田會面過後，孫氏聽取其建議開始學習英語和計算機科學。

16歲時，孫氏移居加利福尼亞州，後來進入加州大學伯剋利分校，主修經濟，還選讀了一些電腦課程。他被一份雜志提及的微型芯片吸引着了，19歲的他已認為電腦科技將帶起下一輪的商業革命。

留意到一切和微型芯片有關的東西都大有作為，孫氏决定要每天思考至少一個企業想法。他取得一個翻譯裝置的專利，以一百萬美元賣給夏普，這個專利的應用包括夏普的Wizard係列個人數碼助理。

孫氏將《太空侵略者》這個遊戲引入了大學內。1980年畢業。1981年，孫氏回到日本，創立軟件銀行，發展了有關電腦的媒體及軟件。

1980年代末期，孫氏仍不是日本公民。他的日本妻子隨他姓孫。結婚後，法律承認了她的新姓氏，孫正義隨之而成為日本公民而不用改姓傳統的日本姓氏。1991年，孫正義歸化為日本人[來源請求]。

傢族

其本貫為一直孫氏，據孫正義本人描述，出自春秋時代的著名兵法傢孫武的一族。他的後代移居到朝鮮半島，傳到22世孫鐘慶，從韓國大邱市渡海定居在日本，孫傢在日本定居已有三代。他的傢族說：“孫氏和韓國固有的孫氏不一樣，我祖籍和漢民族的孫氏屬於同一根源。

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, (鳥棲市, 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.
