Did you know that the owner of Ikea who is worth 23 BILLION drives a 1993 Volvo and is even known to use his bus pass to save money?

Very true!!
Who actually cares what car anyone drives??? Only people who measure a car as being of "value" is when they need, for some strange reason, to help their character deficiencies and get one up on their neighbors/friends. (Apart from "enthusiasts" who can gloat over lumps of metal with four wheels).
Only know two seriously rich people (in the billions range - and not dollar values) - neither cares about cars or "possessing" glitter - they have more relevant stuff to deal with. That's why they are wealthy in the first instance.
Also... being a "millionaire" means little (tho not decrying from layinglow - he did that from little and is holding his mill in liquid form), - that is only half a mill in Sterling or 724K in Euros. A one bedroom flat in the center of London can cost $1 mill (or more depending). There are plenty dollar millionaires around who are millionaires simply by owning their homes - and these homes are not "millionaire style" homes. I sold a house last year, which in dollar value was just under a mill, but that was a fairly average five bed property and sure did not have any millionaire-style features *lol* Everything is relative
