Investment assets—or simply “assets,” meaning principal—are a little different from money you can freely spend.
I invest as well, but fluctuations of several hundred million yen are completely normal, and I don’t consider collateral to be an asset. That investor is probably the same: they’ll keep trying to earn even more, so unless they withdraw it into a bank account and secure it as cash, I don’t think it feels truly real.
The assets other people see and the assets someone considers their own are often very different.
In the end, I think what matters is how much money they can actually spend on leisure right now.
That doesn’t mean their assets are insignificant. Investment has a structure where the larger the amount, the greater the potential return—and the harder it is to lose. People who understand this are the ones who come out ahead, so I think that person is probably operating along those lines as well.

I agree with Paper Airplane’s take: if someone has invested ¥1 billion, I’d say they’re truly impressive. I get the feeling there are probably a few people like that out there.
But when you’re talking about an investor’s total assets, you also have to consider any loans they may have, so I wonder how much they actually have available to invest（笑）.
That said, even in terms of total assets, I still think that’s remarkable. I’m one of the poor guys at the dating club, so unfortunately I haven’t made it anywhere near that level（笑）.

That’s incredible in terms of how much you’ve invested… though it might not be that much when you look at your total assets…
I might have that much in debt, though… You win…

Ten billion yen… That’s incredible. If I had that much in assets, I’d quit papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) and everything else.
Do you have more than ten billion yen?
Then make me an offer. I’ll be waiting.

That’s amazing. Anyone with figures they can call “no big deal” is impressive too. You could probably live off that.
I can’t even reach that much in annual income. (T_T)

That’s pretty incredible. Even at just a 5% annual return, 50 million yen would become 40 million after taxes.
With that much, you could FIRE.

I’ll answer as Maezawa from the CEO’s office as well.
When you see the figure of ¥1 billion, it seems incredible, and it’s enough to live comfortably without working.
I feel that the only people who could call it “not that much” are those earning even more.
Come to think of it, someone who had made over ¥3 billion through stock investing appeared on TV. They said that once they felt they no longer needed to earn more, their motivation dropped, so they moved to Tokyo. Since then, whenever they move, they make a point of choosing a place with higher rent.
That’s quite an incredible story.
I wonder if they do papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) too?

It’s Seattle.
It’s incredible, and as long as you don’t do anything reckless, you could probably live there for the rest of your life.
That is, unless things turn into something out of *Naomi*, or you get hooked on cabaret clubs and start ordering champagne towers every day.
