SoftBank Group

Japanese holding company with a domestic mobile operator

Overview

SoftBank Group is included because Forbes classifies it under telecommunications services, but it is a holding company whose segments are the SoftBank Vision Fund (technology investments), SoftBank (mobile, broadband and fixed telecom services in Japan), Arm (processor design) and Others.[2] Masayoshi Son founded it on 3 September 1981.[2] Its net profit of about US$33.1bn in the Forbes data, up from about US$5.6bn, was the highest in the ranking, and its market value of about US$206bn was the second highest after China Mobile’s.[2] Because its results combine investment, chip-design and telecom businesses, its figures are not directly comparable with those of the operators in the list.
