The frugal billionaire: IKEA magnate lives in modest house, eats at his store’s cafe and shops at local market

IKEA magnate lives in modest house, eats at his store’s cafe and shops at local market. IKEA founder, 87, is known for extreme care with money. Ingvar Kamprad flies budget class, takes the bus and eats at IKEA cafe. Yet he also owns a country estate in Sweden and a French vineyard. You’d be forgiven for thinking the man who revolutionised interior design, making himself the fifth wealthiest businessman in the world in the process, lived a life of unimaginable luxury and splendour.
