At the personal level, inflow has historically run NEGATIVE — Son personally owed SoftBank itself $4.7B (Nov-2022) from losses on the conglomerate's Vision Fund co-investments, totaling $5.1B per Bloomberg (Feb-2023). This is a personal liability, not new capital; fresh capital (OpenAI/Stargate LP commitments) flows to the corporate entity, not to Son directly.
