Ingvar Kamprad
Ingvar Kamprad is a name who we all associate with IKEA, the multinational company this billionaire founded when he was 17 years old.
At the age of almost 90 this magnate has lived his entire life in modesty, starting to make his money from a small town in Sweden where he used to sell matches.
If his first money came from buying bulk matches and selling them at a higher price individually, the billionaire devoted his entire life to business.
This kind of life made him realize that spending a lot of money isn’t wise and living the modest life could be very interesting.
That is why he always chose the lowest prices for airplane tickets, even in economy class, or bargained at the market over the prices of groceries and not to forget that he always liked to eat at the cheapest restaurants.
