SoftBank Group Corp.’s Masayoshi Son is continuing to bet on himself, even after he considered and then abandoned the idea of taking his conglomerate private.
Son discussed the idea with investors including Elliott Management and the Abu Dhabi sovereign-wealth fund Mubadala in the past week, the Financial Times reported, before moving ahead with a plan to sell assets instead.
