Rep Power: 21  | Bill Gates no longer the richest man He has been knocked off by the IKEA founder :eek3: IKEA founder jumps Gates as world's richest IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad flies economy class but has reportedly dislodged Microsoft's Bill Gates as the world's richest man. Swedish television reports say the founder of the retail furniture chain has overtaken Mr Gates on the world's rich list. Citing next week's edition of the Swedish business weekly Veckans Affarer, public service SVT2 television says Mr Kamprad, 77, has a personal fortune of $US53 billion ($70 billion). Mr Gates's fortune is put at $US47 billion ($62 billion), according to the latest list of the world's rich in Forbes magazine, SVT2 says. Mr Kamprad, known for frugal habits such as flying economy class, lives in Switzerland and no longer takes part in the daily running of IKEA. But he has kept ownership of the company in the family. IKEA has more than 180 stores in more than 30 countries. SVT2 says the US dollar's slide against other currencies is the main reason why Mr Kamprad has now overtaken Mr Gates. http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s1081022.htm |
