Japan\u2019s largest online clothing store, Zozotown, had an incredible year in 2019. The company recorded 10 billion yen in sales volume, a historic first for the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To celebrate this incredible moment, the chief executive officer (CEO), Yusaku Maezawa (@yousuck2020), hosted a giveaway on X. He asked his followers to retweet the giveaway, and 100 users would win 1 million yen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can say money is a powerful motivator, as his post has the most retweets on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"630\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2-2.png\" alt=\"TweetDelete\u2019s screenshot of Yusaku Maezawa\u2019s tweet with the most retweets on Twitter.\" class=\"wp-image-4051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2-2.png 630w, https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2-2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/tweetdelete.net\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2-2-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Tweets_With_the_Highest_Reposts_on_X\"><\/span>6 Tweets With the Highest Reposts on X<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While Yusaku Maezawa holds the top spot for reposts, other users came close.

MrBeast\u2019s Tweet About a Giveaway With 3.2 Million Retweets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems like there\u2019s a theme when it comes to posts with high repost metrics \u2014 money. In January 2024, MrBeast (@MrBeast) published a post asking people to repost his tweet and follow him. He informed Twitter users he would pick ten people, and they would receive $25,000 from him. He earned this money after posting his videos on this social media channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Yusaku Maezawa\u2019s Post About Freebies With 3 Million Retweets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yusaku Maezawa comes third in the list of tweets with the highest reposts. A few days after his record-breaking post, he tweeted again about a giveaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He prepared to hand out 1 million yen to 1,000 people this time. In other words, the size of the giveaway was a staggering 1 billion. The participation rules were simple \u2014 follow his X profile and repost his post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Carter Wilkerson\u2019s Undying Love for Chicken Nuggets With 3 Million Reposts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask, and you shall receive \u2014 this seems to be the case with Carter Wilkerson (@carterjwm). He tagged Wendy\u2019s (@Wendys) and asked them how many reposts he needed to get a year\u2019s supply of chicken nuggets. The fast food chain replied with a seemingly impossible number \u2014 17 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Undeterred, he published a post requesting Twitter users help him. It\u2019s safe to say this worked, as his post of the conversation with Wendy\u2019s received 3 million reposts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.
