Japanese billionaire entrepeneur Yusaku Maezawa is giving away a whopping $9 million to 1,000 of his followers on Twitter!

Why?

He is conducting a social experiment to see what impact money has on the happiness of people.

Isn’t this just awesome?

So, Maezawa made an announcement on YouTube that he is shelling out 1 billion yen to 1,000 of his Twitter followers. All the followers had to do was retweet the announcement tweet before 7th January. The winners would be picked through a lottery and each winner would be awarded roughly a million yen, which they could use as they wished. They would, subsequently, answer periodic questionnaires about how they were using the money.

?謹賀新年?

【総額10億円】#前澤お年玉 100万円を1000人にプレゼントします!

100万円で皆さまの人生がよりハッピーになりますように。

応募方法は僕のフォローとこのツイートのリツイート。締切は1月7日23:59まで。

企画趣旨や当選条件などはYouTubeで説明してます。 https://t.co/kBgwwmJoaP pic.twitter.com/1Fr0Vq4i6Z

More than 4 million people responded to this message.

A tech tycoon, Maezawa has an estimated worth of about $2 billion. But, that is not the end of his story. The business tycoon is also a rock musician and an art collector.

However, this is not the first time that Maezawa has dished out huge sums of money. Last year too, he gave away 100 million yen to 100 of his Twitter followers and created a Twitter record for the most retweeted tweet at that time.
