[Entrepreneur] Hiroyuki: My Assets Are Growing “While I Just Sleep”

Written by

Hiroyuki revealed that after shifting his assets into the eurozone and US dollar zone starting in 2015, his yen-denominated wealth grew 70% “just from sleeping.” The surge was compounded by sharp share-price gains at Louis Vuitton and Hermès, companies he’d invested in. On 5ch, the news sparked a mix of envy and criticism tied to his long-unpaid damages case.

Addressing the accelerating yen depreciation, Hiroyuki said: “I moved my assets into the eurozone and the US dollar zone back in 2015, so my yen-denominated assets have grown 70% just from sleeping.”

He also reported: “Louis Vuitton, one of the companies I invested in, has tripled its share price. Christian Dior is up 2.5x. Hermès is up 10x…”

Last December, appearing on Nippon Broadcasting’s “Izumi Fusaho’s Passion Radio,” Hiroyuki said: “I moved abroad about 10 years ago, and back then it was around 120 yen to the euro. Now it’s 180 yen. Since I moved most of my assets to Europe around that time, they’ve grown 50% over 10 years without me doing anything.”

He literally turned "contacting creditors and paying off the damages" into a travel-vlog content series, didn't he?
How old is that joke, grandpa?

Wasn't Hiroyuki's whole damages case just about him not disclosing the poster's IP (more precisely, not disclosing it to the standard of proof he personally demanded)?
Isn't it actually the original poster who's supposed to pay, not him?

Hiroyuki refuses one "skipped-out damages" claim as "not owed" in TV show project to repay debts… victim presented "objective evidence" but got no response

He lives in the eurozone, so converting it to yen is meaningless.

As long as you don't realize the profit and cash out, you don't get taxed
You can just sell off what you need bit by bit
I messed up buying my gold bullion as a single 500g ingot
It unexpectedly shot up 300% in value
Selling bullion off in pieces is a real pain, you know

I get unemployment benefits just by sleeping too
15Anonymous2026/08/19(水) 16:10:52.92ID:C05IHcLM
Same story as me
Just got lucky

Well, you need real ability as a base
otherwise
you'll never build up the capital to invest in the first place

If it's still positive after subtracting living expenses, then sure, your assets grow while you sleep — but what's the reality?

I've had assets sitting in Japan since I was born too, so converted into Turkish lira, my assets have grown about 30x over the past 20 years just from sleeping

99% of influencers' flashy "look how rich I am" posturing is a lie

I bought "Orukan" (nickname for the popular eMAXIS Slim All Country index fund) but it tanks hard whenever the yen strengthens.
A cheap yen sucks, but watching your valuation drop is rough too.

There's nothing left worth buying with yen anymore, so what's even the point
23Anonymous2026/08/19(水) 18:12:08.28ID:6eBuKg9P
Society keeps coddling Hiroyuki, so this guy's assets just keep growing
25Anonymous2026/08/19(水) 18:28:40.65ID:py/1AUSo
Well, that's something even an ordinary person would think to do

Says the guy who's out there doing lecture gigs for pocket change
29Anonymous2026/08/19(水) 20:47:55.36ID:R5Wvbarj
How the heck did he manage to move that much money out of Japan anyway?
32Anonymous2026/08/19(水) 23:21:01.18ID:qODLZEEQ

He's only talking percentages, so there's no way to know how much he actually invested or how much he made
30Anonymous2026/08/19(水) 20:52:44.51ID:wel9flff
If Hiroyuki keeps publicly saying he's got money rolling in, and people keep asking "then why aren't you paying your damages?"
he'll probably just vanish before long lol
36Anonymous2026/08/20(木) 07:20:44.95ID:Fc7xco7n
Forex gains get taxed as miscellaneous income, and given how massive Hiroyuki's assets must be
he'd better be handing over 45% of it in tax
37Anonymous2026/08/20(木) 07:25:28.34ID:2qf57LRb

It's already gotten a corrective recommendation, so it'll probably get scrapped eventually
39Anonymous2026/08/20(木) 07:46:11.92ID:onwFNGMM
If the yen strengthens from here on out
his assets could start shrinking while he sleeps

Something like 105 yen [to the dollar] from the early COVID days just isn't happening again
