Interesting question in this Nintendo shareholder Q&A.
wttp://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/stock/meeting/140627qa/03.html
"I have been a shareholder of Nintendo only since last year and I am a bit surprised by the fact that Mr. Takeda, chairperson of this meeting, has no more than 200 shares of stock in this company and that except for Mr. Iwata, who owns 6,700 shares, the other directors also have only 100 or 200 shares each. I do not think such small stakes in the company will give you incentive to do your best, and I was wondering if you were just working as salaried employees. Why do you not increase the number of shares the management team holds?"
Fair point really. It doesn't inspire confidence when company directors have peanuts investments in the company.
