8. Leonardo DiCaprio
This is one man who needs no introduction, although you might have to look long and hard at this picture before realizing who this actually is. Yes, that is indeed Leonardo DiCaprio. This actor is one of the most successful and famous actors in the world, acting in amazing films that we all know and love. He started out at an incredibly young age in films like Titanic, and is still very active in Hollywood today with films such as The Wolf Of Wall Street. Leonardo has amassed an incredibly large fan base, with people going nuts over him when they see him on the street.
Perhaps that’s why Leonardo dresses in such an unassuming manner. After all, the best way to draw attention to yourself is to wear lavish and expensive clothing. Leonardo loves to bike around the city, and he does this by renting bikes. This is evidence of a very modest lifestyle, and is perhaps not what you would expect from a huge star like him. He also wears pretty normal clothing, such as simple shorts and t-shirts, and these days he seems to let his beard grow out to pretty wild levels.
7. Ingvar Kamprad
Judging by this picture, you would probably never guess that this old man is one of the richest men in the world. For a while, he was actually the richest man in the world. This is of course Ingvar Kamprad, the founder of Swedish furniture company IKEA. He is worth almost 50 billion dollars, but the official estimates seem to change each year. It’s clear however, that he is one of the richest men in the world. The acronym IKEA represents his first and last initial, the first letter of his family farm, and the first letter of a nearby town. He has been involved in business since he was a very small boy, selling matchsticks from his bicycle in his early days.
He is very humble-looking from this picture, and along with his wife, they look like the typical blue-collar retired couple. He is wearing a very simple navy blue coat that looks like it’s seen many decades of continuous wear, and underneath his arm he has the signature IKEA blue bag that pretty much everyone has at home. In keeping with his modest lifestyle, whenever Ingvar flies, he travels in economy class with the rest of the “normal people.”
6. Amancia Ortega
Amancia Ortega is another unassuming man who is actually incredibly wealthy. He is the man behind Zara clothing, and with a net worth of $80 billion, he is the wealthiest retailer in the world. He is known for his extremely simple lifestyle. He refuses to wear a tie, opting instead for a simple blue shirt and pants. And in case you were wondering, none of these products are made by Zara. On some very rare occasions, he wears a blazer. He is also known for being very private about his lifestyle. Before 1999, not a single picture of him had ever been published. He has given only three interviews to journalists in his entire life. This has led many to write books about this mysterious man, digging into his past.
And as you might have guessed, Amancia comes from a very humble upbringing. His family was not wealthy, and he made his fortune purely out of hard work and determination. He has also donated millions of dollars to charity, most notably the medical industries of his home country, Spain.
