I read in the newspaper today that Ingvar Kamprad is the founder of IKEA, and he's now the richest man in the world, surpassing Bill Gates. The declining value of dollar attributes to this.

 

Ikea is old. It's been around for a long time. My friend who grew up in Germany remembers going there 25 years ago as a child. Another interesting fact is that if Sam Walton of walmart was alive he'd be worth 2 times as much as Gates.
