Capital · available
Personal net worth is volatile and DISTINCT from the ~$110B board.yaml 'deployable' figure. Wikipedia shows Son ranked only 65th on Forbes (~May-2025) / 177th on Bloomberg Billionaires (~May-2025), then spiking to a $100.7B peak on 2-Jun-2026 (briefly Asia's richest) before slipping back within days as the SoftBank AI rally cooled — no single stable figure exists. The board's ~$110B reflects his CONTROL over SoftBank's ~$150-160B directed capital, not this personal pile. Over a third of his SoftBank shares are pledged as collateral for margin loans (levered).
