Jim Walton is worth nearly $30 billion, enough to buy an entire city or probably even an entire state. Instead, he chose to buy a vehicle named after a state. The youngest son of the founder of Wal-Mart is also the Chairman of Arvest Bank. Yet, he drives around in a Dodge Dakota, a vehicle that costs less than $30,000.

Ingvar Kamprad is a business magnate from Sweden. He is the founder of IKEA, a retail company that specializes in furniture. He truly knows the value of money, having started out as a businessman when he was still a young boy who sold matches to neighbors while moving around on a bicycle. These days, he has upgraded his bicycle, though not as much as his $53 billion net worth would suggest. He still drives around in a Volvo 240 GL that he bought way back in 1991.
