"Ingvar Kamprad, the Swede who founded furniture retail chain IKEA, has overtaken Microsoft's Bill Gates as the world's richest man, Swedish TV news reported on Sunday."

Now, the Drudge Report is wondering what's up, as he was only listed as #13 on Forbes, and as having 18.5 Billion.

Forbes.com (with pass built into link) (http://www.forbes.com/maserati/billionaires2004/LIRBWQ7.html?passListId=10&passYear=2004&passListType=Person&uniqueId=BWQ7&datatype=Person)

Wonder where the suddenly available $35 billion extra came from?

To think there was that much money to be made by not including the last screw needed to put the furniture together.
