Hideo Kojima, a Japanese video game designer, has a net worth of $30 million.
Joakim Mogren, also known as “Joakim Mogren,” is most recognized for his tenure as the director of Kojima Productions and former Vice President of Konami Digital Entertainment.
On August 24, 1963, he was born in Setagaya, Tokyo, where his father passed away when he was 13. He spent most of his childhood as a latchkey kid.
Kojima, who was still studying Economics, frequently resorted to playing video games as a means of pursuing a career in the gaming industry.
Despite being rejected multiple times, he managed to join Konami’s MSX home computer division in 1986.
He went on to create, direct and write several popular video games, such as Metal Gear, Snatcher, and Policenauts. Additionally, he was the producer of Zone of the Enders, Boktai, and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.
His diverse collection of titles has garnered him numerous positive reviews from both fans and experts who consider him to be one of the most influential and inventive video game developers and writers.
October 2015 saw Kojima departing from Konami.
Initially, it was viewed as a prolonged hiatus from employment, but it has since transformed into a more formal disconnection.
In December 2015, Kojima disclosed his intention to establish his own separate studio in collaboration with Sony Computer Entertainment.
