Yusaku Maezawa founded Japan's largest online fashion mall, Zozotown, in 1998. Its parent company, Zozo, is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
In 2019, Maezawa announced that he was resigning as CEO and selling most of his stake to Yahoo Japan in a deal worth more than $2.3 billion.
Maezawa got his start selling CDs and records of his favorite bands by mail from his home.
He collects modern art and plans to build a museum to display it in Chiba, east of Tokyo.
In 2021, Maezawa flew on a Russian Soyuz rocket to the International Space Station for a 12-day trip. Maezawa's trip to the moon on Elon Musk's SpaceX, scheduled for 2023, was cancelled in 2024 due to delays in the rocket's development.
In 2017, he paid over $110 million for Jean-Michel Basquiat's 1982 painting "Untitled," a new record for the artist.
Maezawa, who had advertised in January 2020 for a 'life partner' to accompany him on his moon trip, later sought eight people to go with him.
