History Of Ikea
Ingvar Theodore Kamprad, a gifted dyslexic boy, was born on March 30, 1926, on a farm in Sweden. His father, who owned the farm, had committed suicide due to his company's bankruptcy. His mother, who was a willpower and perseverance woman, saved the company after her husband's suicide. Ingvar's family lived in poverty, and he began working early in his life, starting at just five years old. He started selling matches and pencils, buying them in bulk and reselling them to classmates for profit.
