瑞典家具巨擘宜家家居（IKEA）的86歲創辦人坎普拉說，他很忙，沒時間死掉。這是針對外界傳言，澄清說他沒打算退休。

瑞士商業雜誌Bilanz刊登坎普拉專訪，他說：「宜家家居永遠不會發行股票上市。我們希望繼續能以自有資金經營。」

瑞士媒體今年6月封坎普拉是歐洲首富，身家估計有375億美元（288億歐元）。坎普拉還駁斥最近有關他準備退休的報導。

他說：「噢，我還有很多工作要做，沒有時間死耶。」瑞典媒體9月報導，坎普拉準備將棒子交給3個兒子。

坎普拉還在訪問中提到他與兒子的爭執。

坎普拉說：「我們不是一直都沒有爭執。但在家庭裡面，意見不一很正常。」

GENEVA (AFP) - The 86-year-old founder of Swedish furniture giant Ikea revealed he has no plans to retire and rejected any idea of the company going public in an interview published in Switzerland.

"The company will never go to the market," Mr Ingvar Kamprad told the latest edition of Swiss business magazine Bilanz.

"We want to keep strict self-financing."

Named by Swiss media in June as Europe's richest man with an estimated fortune of US$37.5 billion (S$46 billion) including holdings in the family-owned foundation, Lake Geneva resident Kamprad also rubbished recent reports that he intended to step down.
