As the man who took Nintendo from a small toy maker, to a multi-billion dollar global powerhouse, you'd imagine
Hiroshi Yamauchi has earnt himself a pretty penny. What you may not have expected, however, is how generous he is when it comes to spreading his wealth around.
The picture above is of a brand new, 82,000 square foot, 8 floor hospital that specialises in cancer treatment in Koyoto. Costing 7.5 billion Yen, Yamauchi donated the majority of the figure himself, which equates to some $83m, or £57m.
With departments for radiation oncology, internal medicine oncology, respiratory surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, and urology, the first patients are expected to begin treatment this month.
It's always nice to see people giving back, but we think it's fair to say Yamauchi-san's gone well beyond the call of duty here. A truly incredible gesture.
