For regular okes, the standards of impressing a girl are often limited to a bouquet of roses or, in extreme cases, a surprise gift delivered in the presence of the girlfriend’s workmates. However, regular is not a descriptive term Japanese billionaire, Yusaku Maezawa, would accept.

Who is Yusaku Maezawa?

This is due to the simple fact that life has never been regular for Yusaku Maezawa. Born in 1975, Yusaku Maezawa is a well-renowned serial entrepreneur.

Since he launched Start Today, a music retail business, in 1998, Yusaku Maezawa has amassed a ton of wealth. According to Forbes‘ financial indicators, the 44-year-old has an estimated net worth of R25.9-billion ($1.8-billion).

Much of his financial success comes from the sale of his majority stake in ZoZo, an online fashion retailer. 50.1% of the company, according to BBC, was sold to SoftBank for R53.3-billion ($3.7-billion), in September 2019.

What it takes to score a date on the moon with Japanese billionaire

His checks and balances have, for the most part of his professional career, always been satisfactory. His bank balance alone is an indication of this.

However, the same can’t be said about his ability to sustain a monogamous relationship.

Coming from two failed relationships, which resulted in the birth of three children, Yusaku Maezawa took to Twitter to announce that his commitment to singlehood has come to an end.

The billionaire has teamed up with an online streaming service, Abema TV, for a dating show, where the lucky girl will accompany him on his historic SpaceX voyage to the moon.

Remember, Elon Musk had, in 2018, announced that Maezawa would be the world’s first private passenger to fly around the Moon, aboard the SpaceX BFR launch vehicle, in 2023.

Maezawa, whose wealth is a testament to his knack for seizing the right opportunities, used this once-in-a-lifetime experience as a means to return to the dating scene.

This is the application process for women interested in taking up the offer:

  • Single women aged 20 or over
  • Bright personality and always positive
  • Interested in going into space and able to participate in the preparation for it
  • Want to enjoy life to the fullest
  • Be someone who wishes for world peace

This is how the perfect companion for the Japanese billionaire will be selected:

  • Jan. 17: Applications end at 10am (JST)
  • Jan. 25-26: Selection begins
  • Mid Feb: Matchmaking dates with Yusaku Maezawa
