Here’s another story to show that the bigs boys at Nintendo are REALLY doing well. Hiroshi Yamauchi, the retired president of Nintendo is now Japan’s richest man according to the latest forbes report.

He is reportedly worth $3 billion, and his net worth has tripled since 2006, thanks mostly to booming sales of the Wii gaming device.

Its also interesting to note that he holds the most stocks of Nintendo despite that he has already stepped down in 2002. Well, looks like he really had faith in the company back then and now it has paid off.

I wonder what’s an old retired man gonna do with so much money?
