4. Hiroshi Yamauchi
Hiroshi Yamauchi was the third president of Nintendo. When Yamauchi took the company’s reigns from its predecessors, he transformed it from a humble card-making company to a multi-billion dollar empire. In 2013, Forbes put his worth at $2.1 billion. He tragically passed away that same year of pneumonia.
Yamauchi’s edge in business was not the source of any formal degree — he dropped out of Waseda Univeristy in Japan so that he could run Nintendo and turn it into the company it is today.
