from what i hear he is a froogle old man who lives a very modest life style compared to his wealth. he is more about working hard and making it than spending it and flaunting it.
That image would certainly make tax avoidance much less complicated.

Funny side note, he checks out his Swedish retirement check every month.
And when he shows in the medias he always drives an rather old Volvo station car.
Much poor

the documentary i watched was from 2012 so i'm sure the numbers will vary. i found this article interesting. i guess different people have different views regarding what counts towards your worth. he may have 4 billion in cash and 40 billion in assets. who knows how these people come up with these numbers but i will bet you my ass the guy didn't lose 49 billion. he has it stashed away somewhere and spread out over multiple investments.

USD$90M/day is a ridiculous figure and completely unjustifiable. Regardless of whether you use the $42B Bloomberg figure or the $3.7B Forbes figure for his networth, he doesn't make $92M/day unless you look at some single day stock price change.
If he "made" $90M/day for a year, that would add $33B to his network. According to Bloomberg he's lost $8.6B in his networth in 2014.

It's not a guy, but an old people which has more of 80 years I guess. But, It's nothing of new that big company like IKEA find some method to avoid taxes and pay less possible. See Google for example, he find a very good way for not pay no one country

i find both parts of this story depressing.
My view on it.
in new jersey they are fighting for higher wages. they were only asking for something around $1.40 increase. the governor rejected it and it pushing for $1 increase spread out of the course of 3 years. so that's like 33 cents a year raise. not nearly enough to keep up with inflation.
nope, would you? nope. i doubt very much she makes enough in tips to not be considered the working poor. i think it's a big scam they work for $2 an hour and have to "hope" for tips.
I agree. They should fight for higher wages. Here in Alberta we have a minimum wage, and people who serve alcohol get $2 less than that. Most everyone is OK with the system, because it's understood that most people tip.

right now i'm watching something about the working poor. bartenders and waiters make $2.13 an hour in new jersey. this one girl showed her two week pay check and it was $27 after taxes.

She didn't show the hundreds she got in tips, and doesn't pay tax on, does she?
i watched a documentary on youtube about the 1%. his name is Ingvar Kamprad. the guy is worth 53 billion. 90 million a day is not that hard to believe for a guy who is worth 53 billion.
Which documentary ? Can you give URL
the most recent study shows the rich own 87% of the worlds wealth and the 1% control 48%.
40% of the worlds wealth owned by the elite 1%
