"Ingvar Kamprad, the Swede who founded furniture retail chain IKEA, has overtaken Microsoft's Bill Gates as the world's richest man, Swedish TV news reported on Sunday."

Well, I guess that means Bill will be raising the price on Windblows . . . :shocked:

Haha! The richest man in the world is a nazi! :lol:

Now, the Drudge Report is wondering what's up, as he was only listed as #13 on Forbes, and as having 18.5 Billion.

Forbes.com (with pass built into link) (http://www.forbes.com/maserati/billionaires2004/LIRBWQ7.html?passListId=10&passYear=2004&passListType=Person&uniqueId=BWQ7&datatype=Person)

Wonder where the suddenly available $35 billion extra came from?

To think there was that much money to be made by not including the last screw needed to put the furniture together.
