I think this is funny:
"Yamauchi declined to accept his director's retirement benefit from Nintendo. While the amount of this benefit was not disclosed, it is rumored to have been between 1 billion to 1.5 billion yen ($9.4 million to $14 million)."

"Hey, you're rich...have some more money to retire on!" Sigh, rich people don't need to worry about retirement...

It's just funny how they made it a huge point that he turned down a benefit in the area of 9 million dollars when he is a multi-billionaire. A few million is like pennies to him.
He's still my next favourite videogame company owner in history next to Okawa. Emperor Yamauchi =)
