IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad, ranked 4th richest man in the world, drives a 15-year-old car and always flies economy class, in part to inspire his 90,000 employees worldwide to see the virtue of frugality.

A billionaire making a show of his frugality is no better than a billionaire making a show of his excesses. I'm glad not to be one of this cheapskate's employees.
