"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)."

Yamauchi officially stepping down from Nintendo board
- Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

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.
