I think Bill Gates offered Mr. Yamauchi $20 billion for Nintendo in the late 90s and was still interested circa 2004, but Yamauchi turned the offer down (though he *did* consider it).

Keep in mind $20 billion in 1999 inflation adjusted is almost 30 billion today.

It is about how much Nintendo is worth today (32Billionish), but I think if Nintendo really leveraged brand and wanted to be sold, the selling price would be higher.
