The Kirk Kristiansen family, owners of the toy company Lego, rank among Denmark’s wealthiest, their fortune built on the ubiquitous plastic brick.
The family has held the business across generations from its base in Billund, keeping it private and family controlled.
Their wealth is tied to both the toymaker and a family investment company that has diversified into other assets.
The Lego fortune remains one of the largest in the Nordic region.
