When Danish 'butter magnate' Lars Emil Bruun died in 1923, his will had a curious order: His vast collection of coins, notes and medals - amassed over more than six decades - should be held as an emergency reserve for Denmark ’s national collection in case it was ever destroyed. Bruun insisted that if all was well after 100 years, the coins could finally be sold to benefit his descendants. And they are about to benefit big time.
He was a landowner and innkeeper's son who discovered in his 20s that his family's fortune had been wasted and that he was deeply in debt. With a loan, he started his own butter company and went on to make a fortune through exports and sales. “People who are exclusively devoted to their business make a great mistake. I, for one, could never imagine thinking about nothing but butter until my dying days.
