Accumulated investment in OpenAI exceeds 60 billion: Sun Yuzheng, with a net worth of 100 billion US dollars, regains the title of Asia's richest person

Driven by the powerful momentum of the artificial intelligence concept, Masayoshi Son, founder and CEO of SoftBank Group, has once again topped the list of Asia's richest people with a net worth of about $100 billion, and SoftBank Group has also surpassed Toyota Motor to become the highest-valued listed company in Japan .

Forbes' real-time billionaire rankings on June 2 showed this change in wealth. Before that, SoftBank's stock price surged 14% on June 1, and its market capitalization briefly exceeded 4.8 trillion yen during the day; as of June 3, SoftBank's market capitalization reached about 4.879 trillion yen, surpassing Toyota Motor's 4.574 trillion yen.

The strong rise in SoftBank's market value mainly stems from its intensive investments in AI. Over the past year, SoftBank's cumulative investment in OpenAI is expected to exceed $60 billion. With OpenAI's valuation continuing to rise, and SoftBank recently announcing the construction of a large data center in France, the strategic effects of heavily investing in AI infrastructure are accelerating. Recently, Son publicly stated that the current wave of artificial intelligence has just begun, and its future scale could even reach 50 times that of the previous internet boom.
