Former President of Nintendo, Hiroshi Yamauchi, Becomes Japan’s Richest Man, Thanks To Wii

Hiroshi Yamauchi, the former President of Nintendo, is also the Japan’s richest man this year, having a net worth of $7.8 billion and 10% of Nintendo’s shares. The strong sales of Wii has contributed greatly to the rising market capitalization of Nintendo.

The next catalyst in line will be the Wii Fit.
