Billionaire Entrepreneur to Give Money to
Twitter Followers for 'Social Experiment'.
The test is being carried out by
Japan's Yusaku Maezawa, who
'Forbes' says is worth $2 billion.
To understand the connection
between money and happiness,
he is giving away one million yen.
The money will be distributed to
1,000 of his followers on Twitter.
That amounts to $9 million, with
1,000 people receiving $9,000 each.
All one has to do is retweet
Maezawa's announcement
and follow him on Twitter.
We will give 1 million yen to 1000 people! I wish your life will be happier with 1 million yen. The application method is follow me and retweet of this tweet, Yusaku Maezawa,
via Twitter.
The message has been
re-tweeted by over 4 million people.
Those who win from the lottery
are expected to fill out surveys
about how they spend the money.
The experiment is said to be
based on Maezawa's interest
in universal basic income (UBI).
UBI has also been championed
by 2020 U.S. presidential
candidate Andrew Yang
