Yamauchi richest in Japan
80 year old Hiroshi Yamauchi, the former President of Nintendo is now the richest man in Japan according to Forbes.
Yamauchi was Nintendo's third President, and he maintained that position for 53 years. Since stepping down in 2002, he has kept a low profile but still owns shares in Big N, helping him triple his net worth since the success of the Wii and DS.
Don't get too excited ladies, he's married with kids.

Not the sony guy, not the toyota guy, it's the previous president of Big N. I'm proud of being a fan boy sometimes.
