The July 2026 issue of the global business magazine Forbes JAPAN (Publisher: Linkties Co., Ltd., Issued by: Ken-to Ueno) is dedicated to the annual billionaire ranking feature.
Issue Overview:
Forbes presents its annual billionaire ranking. This time, the focus is on a key habit of billionaires: "note-taking." We investigate what they write, how they use it, and reveal the "unseen behind-the-scenes" of successful individuals.
We also feature an exclusive interview with rapper Dr. Dre on his journey to becoming a billion-dollar businessman.
The second special feature, "Is a CMO Necessary? New Trends in Marketing in the AI Era," examines major shifts in marketing through interviews with companies like Shiseido and Novasell.
The third feature provides comprehensive coverage on the profiles and "new fighting styles" of winners of the "Rising Star 2026" award for startups founded under three years ago.
Feature Highlights:
Feature 1: World Billionaire Ranking
We publish the 2026 list of billionaires, including Elon Musk, who is approaching the status of the world's first "trillion-dollar man." We explore the "idea notes" that led U-NEXT HOLDINGS CEO Yasuhide Uno to success, the note-taking methods practiced by Japanese billionaires like Masayoshi Son and Tadashi Yanai, and the habits of great investors like Warren Buffett, unraveling the philosophy and routines of those who build wealth.
Feature 2: The New Relationship Between Management and Marketing
Driven by the evolution of AI and data usage, marketing has reached a new turning point worldwide. Authority is becoming increasingly distributed and democratized, with brand building becoming a collaborative effort among all stakeholders. CMOs and marketing leaders are seeing their roles upgraded to the core of management. We explore this new relationship from domestic and international perspectives.
Feature 3: RISING STAR 2026
It has been eight years since Forbes JAPAN launched "RISING STAR" to support entrepreneurs with startups less than three years old. Amid tectonic shifts such as funding polarization, the rise of AI natives, and government-linked strategies, the way entrepreneurs fight is fundamentally changing. We track the major transformation of the environment surrounding seed and early-stage startups.
Comments from Masaharu Fujiyoshi, Editor-in-Chief:
What do successful business people keep writing in the notebooks they use every day? Many cite note-taking as a habit, but is there a difference in how successful people use them compared to others? To answer this, we analyzed what top-ranked individuals shared in interviews and reported on their habit formation and notebook contents.
