TOKYO: A polygamous man who had relied entirely on the finances of his wives says he is now earning 1.25 million yen (US$8,000) each month as an influencer.

Ryuta Watanabe, 36, was widely reported last October by several Japanese media outlets to have led a polygamous gigolo life in northern Japanese prefecture of Hokkaido.
