Hans Rausing

Hans A. Rausing, KBE was a Swedish businessman and philanthropist based in the United Kingdom. He made his fortune from his co-inheritance of Tetra Pak, a company founded by his father Ruben Rausing, and the largest food packaging company in the world. In 1995 he sold his share of the company to his brother, Gad.

Hans Rausing, an heir to packaging giant Tetra Laval, died at age 93 in August 2019. He served as CEO of the company from 1950 to 1983.
He sold his share in the company to his brother Gad for an estimated $7 billion in 1995; Gad died in 2000 and his children are billionaires.
Rausing moved to the U.K. in the early 1980s to avoid punitive Swedish taxes.
Rausing lived on a 900-acre estate in the village of Wadhurst where he bred deer and wild boar. He also had homes in London and Barbados.
His Hans Rausing Endangered Languages Project at the University of London supports research, training, and archiving of disappearing languages.
