ソフトバンクの孫さんというと浮かぶのは下記の言葉です(苦笑)英文はLang-8にあったもの。
「髪の毛が後退しているのではない。 私が前進しているのである」
It's not that my hairline is
receding. It's only I'm moving forward.
前進しているなと思わされたのはアメリカでの存在力を高めていること。動画のトークショーの過去の顔ぶれを確認するとかなり豪華です。

また雑誌Vanity Fairが毎年発表しているNew Establishment Listでも日本人としてリストに唯一入り24位となっていました。
The 2017 New Establishment List
In 2017 it seems that everyone is
in everyone else’s business, and the list foreshadows the coming battles as
various industries, and the titans who captain them, increasingly weave
together into one.

MASAYOSHI SON
Not ranked last year
BIG NUMBER $100 billion: the size
of SoftBank’s “Vision Fund”—the biggest tech fund on the planet.
ちなみにトップ4はAGFAで、テスラが5位につけています。AGFAはBig FourとかFour Horsemanとか呼ばれているんですね。

JEFF BEZOS
Last year’s rank: 1
CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT Overtook Bill
Gates as the world’s richest person for a brief, glorious, four-hour span.
EVIDENCE OF VULCAN CHESS MASTERY
Bought Whole Foods for $13.7 billion, which sent Amazon’s stock soaring beyond
the value of the acquisition itself.
BIG NUMBER $5 billion, the amount
Amazon says it will invest in building and operating a second headquarters in
North America. The city of Tucson “bid” for the site by sending Bezos a giant
cactus.
EVIDENCE OF BIONIC ENGINEERING
Bezos showed up at this year’s Sun Valley retreat with bulging biceps and a
Terminator-esque countenance, spawning an Internet meme frenzy.
WORKOUT REGIMEN “Heavy weights and
whiskey. Not simultaneously.”
2
MARK ZUCKERBERG
Last year’s rank: 2
CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT Led Facebook
to two billion users worldwide, making it nearly as ubiquitous as running water.
BIG NUMBER $3 billion, the amount
Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, pledged to spend to try to cure,
prevent, or manage all diseases in existence.
RARE DISPLAY OF MORTALITY Said it
was “crazy” to suggest that Facebook may have swung the election. Later
admitted that Facebook hadn’t done enough to crack down on real fake news.
QUIXOTIC QUEST Has spent the year
visiting all 50 U.S. states, hobnobbing with truckers and farmers and spawning
relentless rumors that he will run for president in 2020. (He won’t, he says.)

TIM COOK
Last year’s rank: 11
CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT With a market
cap north of $800 billion, Apple is on track to be a trillion-dollar company.
RARE DISPLAY OF MORTALITY As
consumers reject the new MacBook Pro and Apple arrives late to the game with
HomePod, an Echo wannabe, the company is clinging to the iPhone for more than
half of its revenue—an inauspicious strategy, since phone sales are predicted
to decline.
MORTIFYING TRUMP MOMENT Cook showed
up at Trump Tower in December to kiss the ring, then went to the White House in
June to try to convince Trump of the importance of coding in schools.

LARRY PAGE
Last year’s rank: 13
EVIDENCE OF VULCAN CHESS MASTERY
Alphabet, Google’s parent company, gained ground on at least one competitor in
the self-driving-car space this year when it took Uber to court for intellectual-property
theft. Fallout from the lawsuit could kneecap Uber’s autonomous-vehicle
endeavors for years to come.
RARE DISPLAY OF MORTALITY Some of
Alphabet’s projects—notably Fiber, its Internet division—have struggled in the
past year as Google C.F.O. Ruth Porat pressures them to make money.
BIG NUMBER $47.2 billion: Page’s
net worth, a new record high.
5
ELON MUSK
Last year’s rank: 5
LATEST CONQUESTS This year alone,
Musk has launched rockets into space (and landed them back on earth), showcased
a plan to create colonies on Mars, and built an affordable electric car.
BIG NUMBER $63 billion, Tesla’s
market capitalization, which makes it the world’s most valuable car-maker.
