Tsunami of tweets for cash bonus

Japanese tycoon Yusaku Maezawa said on Monday his tweet promising a cash giveaway of one million yen (almost R140,000) was the most retweeted ever.

Maezawa posted a tweet on Saturday last week promising the money to 100 randomly selected followers who had retweeted it by Monday.

The tweet — now retweeted more than 4.3-million times — is the most shared in history, he said.
