According to an article of Forbes that was published in 2013, the Yamauchi family had a staggering net worth of $2.1 billion dollars. Think about his wealth for a minute. That’s 2,100 times one million dollar. That’s similar to earning 1.75 million each month for 100 years long.
Of course, his source of wealth comes from the Nintendo Company. In 2013, Hiroshi Yamauchi (his grand son) was the 13th richest person in Japan and the 491st richest in the world. It’s hard to estimate these numbers correct, as his net worth fluctuates a lot since it’s mainly based on Nintendo stock and the stock market. Hiroshi Yamauchi was the largest individual shareholder of Nintendo after Fusajiro died. He ran the company for 55 years before retiring in 2005.
