Can money really buy happiness? Well, in one of a kind social experiment, a Japanese billionaire named Yusaku Maezawa is planning to give away a huge amount of money to his social media followers to draw some inferences from it. 

His bizarre idea has received a lot of mixed reactions from the people on the internet. 

Basically, Yusaku wants to understand if money can truly buy happiness and he has decided to give away a whopping 9 million dollars to 1000 random Twitter followers. His tweet has already gone viral. 

Besides, his post also has a video where he is explaining his concern for this “serious social experiment”.

He hopes that this experiment is beneficial to economists as well in tracking how the world can work with money being readily available. His idea is to see how getting a basic fixed income can affect people's lives.  

Interestingly, Yusaku is also the only private passenger who flew on Elon Musk's Space X and is one of the biggest entrepreneurs in the world who is always making headlines for some or the other reason. 

Well, we'd love to participate in this social experiment and contribute to whatever conclusions he wants to draw.
