Yamauchi richest man in Japan

Forbes has recently posted an article detailing the richest people in Japan. They comment that the country’s biggest gainer, and new No. 1 richest is currently the retired Nintendo chairman, Hiroshi Yamauchi.

Apparently his pimp hand is still strong, as his net worth soared $3 billion in the past year, and is now triple the amount it was in 2006.

Obviously, the huge success of the Wii and DS are to both reasons for this stupidly high amount of money finding its way into the man’s bank account.
