Billionaire Maezawa's secret behind SpaceX moon trip: Work less


TOKYO: Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa says working less, not more, is the reason why he’s been able to build an US$8.4bil company, become a major force in the art world and land a ticket on Elon Musk’s rocket to the moon.

The founder of Japan’s second-largest online shopping site Zozo Inc. was introduced last month as the first passenger on a flight to the moon scheduled for 2023, on a rocket built by Space Explorations Technologies Corp. The announcement instantly raised his global profile, which before was mainly based on his US$200million-plus splurge on artworks.
