Ex-Nintendo president named Japan’s richest man

Everyone has seen the cash producing cartoons of Miyamoto and Iwata, but apparently they aren’t even the fattest cats in the pet store. Hiroshi Yamauchi stepped down in 2005 from his position as Nintendo president, but remains a large shareholder in the company. His net worth jumped $3 billion in the last year alone with the successes of the Wii and DS, and is now valued at $7.8 billion. He’s still crazy in my book.
