Sweden is one of the beautiful and rich countries in Europe. Sweden is a beautiful place for living and business. There are many rich people in Sweden. The late IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad was often listed as one of the richest persons in the world. But strictly formal IKEA is a trust and hence formally not owned by anyone.
Now his children control the same. The Wallenberg family controls many very big companies in Sweden and outside. But they do this without personally being on top of the list also due to trusts and also by owning minority posts in listed companies where their share still is enough to control the company.
So number one is Stefan Persson the founder and owner and chairman of the world's biggest garment retail chain H&M. We are going to highlight the top 10 rich people in Sweden:
