Who says only Indians show off? The Japanese have seemingly taken over that department very swiftly this time.
Acting on his hubris, yet again, a Japanese billionaire has decided to distribute as many as 100 million yen (INR 6,45,69,099.38) to 100 lucky winners who share his post on social media. Thus striving to have the most retweeted Twitter post ever.
Founder of Japan’s second-largest online shopping site Zozo Inc., Yusaku Maezawa’s appeal on Twitter has gone viral and has since been shared by a record 3.8 million times and have given it more than 900,000 ‘likes’. Maezawa will select his winners through random selection.
Along with his tweet, he wrote, “To participate, all you have to do is follow me and RT this tweet,” on January 5.
The tweet featured a picture of a man astride a rocket silhouetted against full moon, in a style of the iconic image from the movie ‘E.T’ as well. His tweet, as of January 7, has become the most retweeted tweet ever.
