Billionaire axes public search for girlfriend after almost 30,000 women apply

This was a fun one.

“A billionaire has scrapped his public search for a girlfriend to fly to space with him after more than 27,000 women came forward.

Yusaku Maezawa had appealed for a partner to join him for a trip to the moon as the first private passengers on Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

His search was due to become a show for Abema TV, but now the 44-year-old has aborted the mission for “personal reasons”.

Yusaku, Japans 22nd richest man, usually tweets in Japanese but on Thursday morning he announced the search has been axed in three announcements written in English”
