Hmm, well, part of the "origin of a fortune".

Dieter Meier of Yello was already very rich (son of a big-time Swedish (edit: Swiss) banker).

Swiss, not Swedish.

Switzerland - bankers, cuckoo clocks and chocolate

Sweden - IKEA, meatballs and Spotify.

Yes. Actually a typo, since I know where he is from and the differences between the two countries (e.g. not a "I want to visit Austria and see the kangaroos" mistake).

.. Also Meier, not Meyer, to be even more precise!

How do you find a millionaire industrialist/performance artist to sing in your techno band. That seems like an interesting story.
