Biography

Ingvar Kamprad, who died in 2018, transferred the bulk of his Ikea empire to foundations in the 80's, but kept enough to make his sons billionaires.

Jonas and his brothers own Ikano Group, which was created to manage Ikea's real estate and financial service businesses, but was spun out in 1988.

Today Ikano Group is a $2.1 billion (sales) company with interests in banking, real estate and Asian shopping centers.

Jonas, the middle child, studied industrial and furniture design in Switzerland and applied his skills in Ikea-run subsidiary Habitat.

He is a board member of Netherlands-based Ikea parent Stichting INGKA Foundation and Ikano Group.
