The Cycle of Disruption and Deterioration in Market Monopolies

Lionel Barber, former editor of the Financial Times, explores the story of SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, known as Masa, in his book ‘Gambling Man’. Masa, a venture capitalist who has made and lost hundreds of billions through bold bets on technology, calls himself the world’s "craziest investor."

If you purchase a product or service using one of the links above, we may receive a commission. There will be no additional charge for you. Remember investments can fall and rise - and past performance is no guarantee of future results. Other fees may apply. Your money is at risk.

This is not financial advice. The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We explain the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research. We really encourage that because no one cares more about your money than you and if you learn the basics then it will change your life.
