It's a lot of money but to him, probably just chump change.

just going with the numbers in the article.  500M of 4.6B would be  ~10.8% of his fortune.  he won't go hungry over this but a 10% change would be rather noticiable. 

He's 83. He'll have forgotten about it by tomorrow.

His children won't have!



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

Nintendo getting a taste of their own medicine, nice to see that for once, they cant release a half-assed product and expect it to sell gangbusters.

I'm sure to him it's not really an issue... it's not like he planned on selling these shares, he probably has more than enough revenues based on dividends alone. If anything, that means less taxes for his successors when they inherit the N shares ^^

I also find it interesting that he only owns 10% of Nintendo, so a $500 million drop is only a fraction of 10% of Nintendo's value
