8. Ingvar Kamprad
Ingvar Kamprad is a business magnate from a small town in Sweden, known for being the founder of the popular multinational group of companies IKEA, which he founded when he was only 17 years old. He was always interested in business. As a kid, he would often go to Stockholm to buy matches in bulk for a cheap price, and then return to his town and sell the packages individually at a higher price. This is how he made his first profit. Now, this 89-year-old businessman is worth $3.3 billion. Nevertheless, he never enjoyed spending a lot of money. He always ate at cheap restaurants, haggled over prices at the local markets, and always flew economy class.
