Mathias Kamprad is a Swedish businessman, the billionaire heir to the IKEA fortune, the global leader in furniture retail. His wealth is generational, tied to the massive industrial and retail empire founded by his late father, Ingvar Kamprad (d. 2018), in 1943. Mathias is one of three brothers who inherited the business.

Kamprad's career is defined by generational stewardship and fiduciary oversight of the complex family assets. He served on the board of Inter IKEA Holding (the company that owns the IKEA concept and trademark). His philosophy centers on frugality, simplicity, and low prices—the core tenets of the IKEA brand.

• IKEA Group (Heir & Shareholder): The foundational source of his wealth, tied to the global leader in furniture retail (one of the world's largest private companies).
• Interogo Foundation: The family's principal private holding company in Liechtenstein that controls the majority of the IKEA Group.
• Family Governance: He and his brothers (Jonas and Peter) control the empire through the complex Stichting Ingka Foundation and the Interogo Foundation.
• Frugality: His wealth is tied to a company famous for its founder's extreme frugality (which he also maintains).

Mathias Kamprad's structural role is tied to the governance and financial oversight of the IKEA brand and its complex ownership structure. He was involved in the Supervisory Board of Inter IKEA Holding (the group that manages the trademark and franchising). His structural contribution is ensuring the company adheres to its core principles of functional, high-quality, low-cost design and long-term private ownership.

His wealth is secured by the colossal, long-term, stable profitability of the global furniture and retail supply chain.

Mathias Kamprad's social impact is structural, stemming from IKEA's role in providing affordable, functional home furnishings to millions globally. The Stichting Ingka Foundation (which controls a major part of the IKEA empire) is one of the world's largest charitable foundations, dedicated to advancing social and environmental causes.
