SoftBank’s market value surpasses Toyota, and “Old Sun” climbs out of WeWork’s shadow to regain Asia’s richest person—this plot is more exciting than a TV drama—but the 48 trillion yen bubble smell is something I’ll check first before I say anything.

The Forbes Real-Time Billionaires List shows that SoftBank Group founder Masayoshi Son’s net worth has risen to $100.7 billion, reclaiming the title of Asia’s richest person and surpassing people such as India’s Ambani. Spurred by this, SoftBank’s share price surged, with its market value at one point reaching 48 trillion yen and overtaking Toyota. It ultimately closed up at 49.30 trillion yen, compared with Toyota’s 44.92 trillion yen.
