Saudi Arabia now owns 5.01% of Nintendo, making it the Kyoto company’s fifth-largest shareholder, according to a Bloomberg report. The Financial Times calculates the Saudi investment to be worth $2.98 billion.

The purchase was made by the Public Investment Fund, a sovereign wealth fund that makes investments on behalf of the kingdom. The PIF is controlled by Saudi Arabia’s controversial crown prince and effective ruler, Mohammed bin Salman.

A Nintendo spokesperson told Bloomberg that it had learned about the investment from news reports and would not comment further.

 

:hest: Maybe Nintendo can accept investment from Tencent next.

Nintendo is the next oil, confirmed.

 

LOL, they're a publicly traded company in Tokyo and Osaka exchanges, so yes somebody can buy a percentage ownership of the company without Nintendo's permission.
