Ikea Founder Denies Being Richest Man | |
|
||
| Time: 12:28 EST/17:28 GMT | News Source: Associated Press | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
The founder of Swedish furniture giant Ikea isn't hurting for money, but the company he founded denied on Monday a report that he surpassed Bill Gates and Warren Buffett as the world's wealthiest man. In an article to be released this week, Swedish news weekly Veckans Affaerer said Ingvar Kamprad, 77, the founder of Ikea, had surpassed Microsoft's Gates and Buffett as the world's wealthiest person. The falling exchange rate between the Swedish krona and the U.S. dollar, the magazine said, had caused Kamprad's personal fortune to rise to an estimated $52.5 billion. | ||

| The Ikea founder is just denying it, afraid that he will provoke a rash of open-source furniture makers. |

#6: And that is why he is filthy rich and you are not. The mind of a millionaire (to paraphrase a book title) abhors frivolous and unnecessary spending.
#9: No doubt. |
