Yamauchi Japan's Third Richest
« on: June 07, 2007, 04:03:23 PM »
The former Nintendo saw an increase in his net worth in part due to all of those Nintendo shares he still owns.
 http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=13585

 Forbes Asia magazine compiled a list of the 40 richest Japanese, and former Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi ranked in at number three with net worth of $4.8 billion.    


Last year, the magazine put him at position 14.  The 11-spot jump was due to Nintendo's skyrocketing stock value, stock that Yamauchi still owns a lot of.  Yamauchi retired from Nintendo in June 2005 after 55 years at the company.    


Yamauchi isn't that far behind the two front runners: Akira Mori, a real estate mogul; and Masayoshi Son, chair of Japan's number three wireless service provider.  Both have a net worth of near $5.5 billion each.

Yeah, my Wiimote must be broken, because it doesn't work as advertised.
