Wow, I didn't know Yahoo had that much money.

Anyway another company Yahoo can ruin. They will probably require you to get a yahoo account to shop at Zozo. blegh

Zozo’s share price has tanked, from a peak of around ¥4,000 in October 2018 to almost half that when this deal went through less than a year later. Hemorrhaging money at that speed doesn’t say much for Maezawa’s business acumen. If things get tougher, he can always put the Stradivarius and Basquiat up on ヤフオク and take a rain check on that flight to the moon.

There is only one Yahoo ie Yahoo Japan. Nobody uses other Yahoo that used to be. It nearly ruined Flickr.
