Primary Evidence

"Ruben Rausing was far from alone in his skepticism. Erik Torudd saw the tetrahedron for the first time a few days later. He became thoughtful. He has described the event as “a shock.” The package looked like nothing else – not round and not square. And how would one be able to fill it? It was made in one piece. Erik Wallenberg was alone in understanding during the first week that he had really constructed a package that would work. That the little quirky package would lay the foundation for the Rausing family’s entry into the very exclusive circle of billionaires, no one realized. Not even the inventor himself, Erik Wallenberg."

"Lisbet has also been active in the Rausing-owned company Ingleby Farms and Forests. Hans Rausing and his family have largely placed their fortune in various foundations. These foundations have assets in securities, real estate, and land areas worldwide. The company Ingleby was started in 1998 with the vision of being the leading agricultural company based on ecologically sustainable agriculture. The company owns large land areas in nine countries across four continents. Moreover, through Ingleby, Lisbet has invested more than 260 million kronor to build the tetrahedron-influenced castle Corrour Lodge in Scotland. The lands around the castle amount to 194 million square meters, making Ingleby one of the largest landowners in Scotland. However, the castle is available for rent to private individuals, which partially reflects the Rausing family’s view on their ownership and the investments they make."
