Each Nintendo Employee brings in $1.6 million in profit annually

Deathsythe | September 17, 2008 | News | Wii DS Company Misc 
Based on their earnings divided by the number of employees (even right down to the people who get coffee), Each Nintendo employee generates $1.6 million every year.

Even companies like Google cannot come close to that figure.
It's an odd statistic, yes, but also an interesting one! The Financial Times have looked at some of the world's top-earning companies, and worked out how much cash each generates per capita (ie divide the total profit by the total number of employees). Each worker at money grubbers Goldman Sachs, for example, is worth $1.24 million. Google employees can "only" manage $626,000. But Nintendo employees? Every one of the 3000 workers at Nintendo Towers generates $1.6 million. Yes, even the tea lady.

    The number is a bit misleading since it doesn't seem to include external holdings and manufacturing facilities and so forth. Just the headquarters.
