10 Frugal Billionaires Who Hate To Live A Life King-Size

8. Ingvar Kamprad, founder of IKEA
Net worth: $3 billion

According to an article from Reuters in 2006, Ingvar Kamprad, the founder of IKEA takes an economy class flight for his business trips. Even his residence at Switzerland, Kamprad has the most inexpensive IKEA furniture.

According to The Daily Mail, Kamprad and his wife are often found eating in cheap restaurants and hanging at local markets.

9. Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos
Net worth: Close to $1 billion

Tony Hsieh, the founder of Zappos, sold his company to Microsoft for $265 million. After that, he could have lived in the lap of luxury. Instead, he invested $350 million from his own pocket to transform downtown Las Vegas into a tech hub.

"Money is just a way for Tony to get to his endgame," said Erik Moore, an early Zappos investor. "Money just doesn't matter to him. If he only had a million dollars left, he'd spend $999,999 to make Vegas work. He would be just as happy with a dollar in the bank and being around people he cares about and care about him."

10. Alexander Lebedev, Russian businessman
Net worth: $1.1 billion

Unlike many other Russian billionaires who prefer to buy a private jet and yachts, Lebedev is notoriously frugal.

In fact, Lebedev is different from other billionaire from the list where he has invested his personal money to improve the business of other small businessmen from Russia.
