Ingvar Kamprad
Swedish business magnate Ingvar Kamprad joins the small group of people on our list who did not earn his immense amount of money from success in Hollywood. You may not have heard of Kamprad’s name before even though his product may play a crucial role in your life. Kamprad happens to be the founder of IKEA.
It is understandable that Kamprad had remained one of the wealthiest people on the planet up until his death in 2018. He lived his life flying in economy class when traveling, purchased secondhand clothing, and drove a 1990 Volvo. He considered buying expensive things a bad habit, which may be why IKEA furniture is so reasonably priced.
