Gambling Man: The Wild Ride of Japan's Masayoshi Son
Japan’s Masayoshi Son has made and lost several fortunes, investing or controlling assets worth $1trn in the past two decades through his media-tech giant, SoftBank. Lionel takes us on Masa’s wild ride, from his birthplace in a Korean slum in post-war Japan to the modern-day temples of power. He reveals the man behind the money, what drives him, why he matters, and what he plans for his next act.
Who we are
Pi Capital is a membership club that connects both people and ideas.
We act as a source of information and inspiration for our members, today’s most dynamic and engaging business leaders. Members come together for inspiration, to build connections both within and beyond their areas of work, and to gather information and insight across an ever-expanding range of topics.
What we do
Pi’s core activity is hosting events for our vibrant community.
These are intimate gatherings that enable real interaction between speakers — drawn from the highest echelons of economics, finance, science, technology, arts and culture, government, philanthropy and academia — and members. Some members also choose to participate in investments sourced by Pi.
Pi events
Pi brings to its members an exceptional programme of events throughout the year.
Past speakers include Bill Gates, US Presidents Carter and Clinton, global leaders, several Nobel laureates, star academics, authors, scientists and technologists as well as renowned entrepreneurs and business visionaries. We also host cultural events and offer privileged museum access.
