Who is Adam Neumann?

 

MADE BY WE shirt Adam Neumann WeWork founder

Who is Adam Neumann?

The short answer is one of a kind.

Adam Neumann is the barefoot, tequila-drinking, weed-smoking Billionaire co-founder of WeWork.

Adam Neumann list of humble and realistic aspirations as reported by The Wall Street Journal in 2019:

• Live forever. Maybe...
• Become the World's First Trillionaire. Sorry Elon!
• Expand WeWork to the planet Mars. It won't be with you...
• Become Israel's prime minister. Okay!
• Become "President Of The World". Just that?!

With an estimated net worth of US$1.6 BILLION, it seem that his eccentricity served him really well. But, he's still a long way from becoming a Trillionaire. However, if he is immortal as he claims and lives forever...

As Aristotle would say...

Ikea Billionaire miser

Why Ikea Billionaire Ingvar Kamprad is probably the World's Worst Miser alive!

Ikea founder Ingvar Kamprad: net worth $41.2 Billion, steals condiments from restaurants and toiletries from hotels.

Ingvar Kamprad is the ninth Richest Man in the World with a Fortune of  $41.2 Billion.


Here are his self-proclaimed feats of penny-pinching in order of thriftiness...

• Recycles tea bags.
• Steals toiletries from hotels.
• Steals salt and pepper packets at restaurants.
• Only wears second-hand clothes bought at flea markets.
• Tries to get cheaper haircut when travelling in poorer contries.
• Eats at Ikea cafe for free meals. Otherwise he frequent cheap restaurants.
• Purchases Christmas paper and presents in post-Christmas sales.
• Has a 1993 Volvo 240 but prefers to use public transportation.
• His home is furnished with Ikea furniture he assembled personally.
• Flies only economy class.
• Haggles for bargains at common markets.
• Lives in a modest house.

• He flew his country for lower taxes in Switzerland's tax haven. Normal, a good business decision. Only idiots want to pay taxes!

Nothing better than a free hot-dog at one of his Ikea stores.

I admire his thriftiness.
