Kiyoshi Kimura , known as Japan's "Tuna King," paid a record $3.1 million for a 612-pound bluefin tuna at an auction. Rupert Wingfield-Hayes from BBC News reports from Tokyo.
*wanna get rich? go catch a Tuna.*
If there was 1 tuna left in the world..he'd eat it ...and say it was " tasty ".
Ironic right. these people will eat them to extinction.
...and fresh.
@@Prospektism There is hardly any shortage of tuna.
@@warrenlauzon5315 Blue Fin Tuna is dwindling.
If there was 1 cow left in the world I would cook it (WELL DONE) and use A1 steak sauce.
when he said fat and fresh, i thought he was talking about himself
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
what the heck. you can do so much with that much money!
I imagine he intends to make a profit off it. Just a typical business expense, rather expensive one.
@Tong Po ... Why the hate bra? Mueller getting under your skin?
@Tong Po He's coming to take you away , take you away.
It's a money laundering scheme
@@jamieingels1190 Yeah, if I was going to launder money the first thing I would think of is buying an expensive fish.
"Fukashima Blue Fin!"
Glow in the dark sashimi is "dericious".
You're both wrong... Because of centuries of overfishing, AND Fukushima, about 40% (might even be 50% by now) of their tuna is now caught in American and Canadian waters, put on ice, and then flown to Japan in less than 24 hours... Remember, different varieties and cuts of tuna to the Japanese is like what Angus Beef is to Americans, so they're willing to pay top dollar for it! Therefore, tuna fisherman both in Canada and the US make some DAMN serious money because of all this!
Crazcompart Yeah I know idiot. 80% of American tuna goes to Japan.
Smart guy, that is actually cheaper than a 20 second commercial on a Superbowl. Gets him publicity for a longggg time, we even talk about it ‘til now.
You are right, he could have bought 10 houses collecting rent profits every month but a fish is priceless
@@MoneyMan28it is a marketing expense for his restaurant business, getting a prominent name in the industry enables him to get away with greater profit margin and publicity which profits greater than 10 rental properties.
@@MoneyMan28Not to mention it is tax right off 😊
! I'm fat and fresh, can I have a couple million?!😂
😂
I would say that pretty much seals the coffin on the Blue Fin Tuna
That fish is more expensive than my house...
I'm seeing so many negative comments. The buyer is very successful restaurant owner. He did it for publicly stunned. The restaurant must doing great if he keeps buying years after years, so shut the....up
These cats know they would die for that fish?? This is a monster,,and the way he slices this fish is amazing.
I'm selling Megalodon for $3 and a Dragon for $5.
I'll give you 7 whole dollars for both, LMAO 😂 😂😂 😂
Lmao
Got any unicorn?
But are they edible?

What would you do if you had million dollars? Buyer: Bid it on a fish carcass
Enjoy it while you can, in another decade or so they'll be all gone
what if there are no humans in a decade to pay too much for sea food..?
nah we still have the normal tuna and fiserham only can catch 1-2 bluefin tuna a day
@@yutella616 you realise none of your fishermen actually follow that right? Look up the overweight hauls from all over asia, particularly Japan, they're killing the ocean
Always have the hope of a better tomorrow.
is that why they are starting to do some whaling also?
The way he speaks sounds like someone when they get the wind knocked out of them lol
lmao i had to replay it, did not regret it, your comment made me laugh
Fukushima giant Tuna!
Take that, Koi fish!
Lmao he sounded like a pokemon gym trainer. Dude looks like he's ate a few 600lb tuna
How does one earn profit from a $3.1M dollar tuna? Each slice of sashimi is how much?
So if tuna is now listed as an endangered species, why are we still fishing it
Tragic
It's like a traditional annual legal bribe to the fish market owners (and may be to the workers also) and it's also good publicity, nothing else!..
Honestly, I can not remember the last time I ate tuna...(other than out of a can)
It is better take the 1.3M and buy a fishing rod and after go to fish
3.1 mil wtf smh
hopefully the fish diid not feel that much pain over 600 pounds its liiiiiiiiiiiiike the weight of more then 3 adult should just leave this fish alone not niiiiiiiiiice at allllllllllllll
If that don't ring alarm to state of marine life i don't know what will.
Must be last one?
I KNEW IT THE FISH DOES EXIST I SAW IT BUT WITH TUSKS IN ONE PIECE(Anime Series)
I bet the guy that caught that only got 3000 dollars
Tell that 2 Gloucester bay Massachusetts bluefin tuna fisherman🐟. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Every year a couple of Japanese dudes who have huge sushi chains show up at the first auction of the year to throw their $$$ around. I've only had a handful go to the Japanese auction, they only send the best of the best.
I just cant stand the stupidity! Don’t see why you report this!
Human needs to be put on the critically endangered list or just borrow the infinity glove from thanos and snap away
That is 3,000,000 more than my goldfish cost.
Yeah they need to pay for their own defense
Mmmmm Radiation sushi.
it;s a fish
Tuna flex
I heard blue film
Whoever catches the last living tuna hits the jackpot 🎰
It glows in the dark
Glow in the dark sushi.... That's how you know it went so bad that it's good again...
Leave them in the sea. Eat plants
people with too much free time and money in their hand
The tuna died for our sins.
Imagine the price per piece of sashimi.
geeesh
@@robertmueller6979 Keep Dogging Trump !
I'll take a spicy tuna cut roll please with spicy mayo to go.
What if that tuna🐟 pack with parasite🪱
There's something fishy about this price 🤔😁😁😂😂
Ppl f****d up in the head these days
They throw in the mercury for free?
Calm down guys. Save some fish for the future generations
Over fishing the ocean, this could soon be commonplace when there are far fewer fish to catch and demand stays the same or increases.
What are the benefits after buying it for 3 million??
you eat it and turn $3 million into poop
That's why i choose canned sardines than this tuna. It might be hard to swallow and could choke u up coz of the price.
I have 3 cans of it in my cabinet..they could have had them for $50 uS...so solly.
How much for my goldfish?
Why this much for a dayum fish
That's my birthday. I'm going to need a pound of that sir, on the house please as I doubt the bank will give me a loan for $5 grand to buy it.
Mr. Kimura likes his tuna. Fresh 🐟 is what he lives for. I 👍 him , 😊 man.
Well imagine paying $18.7 million for a chicken that lay gold eggs ...well what better tuna vs chicken..?
It will cost $100 for 1 small slice of tuna!
:42 sound like he need to gargle that form a loogie and spit
Imagine what kind of pig you have to be w being okay w eating something into extinction? They're so big and beautiful! I wonder how old it was. They are so many other fish in the sea. We can't wait a few generations to let the numbers get back up? 🐋🐬🐟🐠🐡🦈🦑
Something smells fishy here?
Tuna to them is what Angus Beef is to Americans! Therefore, Japanese housewives are prepared to pay a lot per pound (or rather, kilo) at the street markets for different varieties and cuts of these supersized fish... The waters around the Japanese Islands have been very much fished out over the centuries, and the disaster at the Fukushima Nuclear Plant didn't help things much either, so a good portion of the Tuna is caught off American and Canadian waters and flown to Japan within 24 hours...
such a beautiful animal priceless 3 million isnt enough in my mind what do u people think??
starboy hustle i wouldnt pay even a thousand for a fish
I know you are using meth
I've never had sushi so I don't think I can appreciate this story. I just know that's a lot of $$ to pay for a damn fish. How much will a sushi dish with that tuna cost?
It will not be cheap.
@@BokaLokaToka More than $5,000 US?
Weird flex but ok.
Asia really needs to rethink their fishing policies
america really needs to mind there own business to really rethink that
How is it fresh if it's frozen?
There's no way he got his money out of that tuna
Endanger , but he got one on the table ready to be cooked .
So, how much are they going to pay to have the pleasure to eat the last one on the planet? How much would they pay to eat the last panda bear?
Oriental Mafia.
Proceeds from the opening auction go to charity so this is fake news
Is there anything japanese can not eat in the sea?
@NATHANIEL GILLIES Living.
This is so beautiful, priceless, beatific, heartening, humbling, encouraging, precious, uplifting, powerful, selfless, empowering, and inspiring! My body's riotously convulsing and I'm crying from everlasting joy as I type this at 92 WPM!
No wonder they are endangered, we all especially japan continues to overfishing EVERYTHING! And they don't follow the laws.
Nani! I want that Fish so I can make Sushi.
Me too!
I Want 🐟 ! And I Want it now !
Stop killing animals
When blue tuna giows on the dark, I would be hesitant to take my first bite. Already cooked just heat and serve. Yummy! Yummy! Inside your radioactive tummy!
next one whale auction
Even 1 dollar or given it to me free, i will not accept that crap, better to do worship
😂😂😂😂
Abhorrent news, and don't envy if unable to see why.
Filthy rich
The first reply is lying.
The comment is telling the truth.

TAKE THAT STARVING PEOPLE !!!!!!💩💩💩
Wait it taste like fish. Lol money waste.
Oh No! It is fake news
I wish.
@@tiki_trash I think so
@@preahvishnudontrei6780 WTF are you talking about?
This is why personal wealth should be outlawed.
A business should not buy stock for their stores?
Someone loves communism.
nooo... this helps the fishermen ... it's a straight up transfer of wealth
@r3conwoo I bet I could beat Mr. kimura in a fight. I would like to pick his pocket ! 💸 💰 !
You can't legislate stupidity.
