Post title:
TIL that IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad (who started the company when he was 17) flew coach, stayed in budget hotels, drove a 20 yo Volvo and always tried to get his haircuts in poor countries. He died at 91 in 2018 with an estimated net worth of almost $60 billion.
Let's do this Sneedman style again. Tessa Fowler is the femme du jure.
!coomers behave
My favorite anecdote about him: "Even though he had a car, Kamprad often used the bus. In fact, he was once refused entry into a gala because he had arrived on the bus. He had to attend the event to receive a 'businessman of the year' award."
He also liked to eat lunch at IKEAs, preferably before noon, when the coffee was free. Oh, and also, he was an active member of the Swedish nazi movement in the 40s
!chuds it is okay to label an entire race as monetarily stingy
A lot of it is myth that he carefully crafted. He most definitely drove Porsches and luxury cars, lived in mansions in Switzerland, flew private jets. They peddled this story so that when IKEA really fricked up (cutting down virgin forests, using prisoners as cheap labor, etc.), they sent out Kamprad in a off brand suit where he yapped about being a simple man and that mistakes were made, blah blah, the media fawned over it and the issue forgotten.
Whatever all this haircut nonsense is
"Nobody needs $60B" and something about Costco
This concludes my effortpost.

Handies are hotter when you can see the broken desperation in the girl's eyes.

Cheap hookers try harder and are more responsive to tips.
He probably did it because he was a cheap bastard though.
