Founder of the Swedish furniture and home goods company IKEA, Ingvar Kamprad is the proud owner of a 13-year-old Volvo 240 GL. Though he may own a Volvo, Kamprad still takes the bus and even uses his pensioners’ discount card, as he explained in a rare 1999 interview. Despite being a double-digit billionaire, Kamprad also still flies economy class and avoids luxury hotels. In fact, in his self-scribed 1976 Bible, A Furniture Dealer's Testament, Kamprad decries that IKEA people do not drive flashy cars or stay at luxury hotels. Indeed, Ingvar Kamprad practices what he preaches.
