Blinds baron Ralph Sonnenberg is chairman and CEO of Netherlands-based Hunter Douglas Group. His father founded the maker of window coverings and architectural products in 1919 as a machine-tool manufacturer; eventually the company developed the technology for the production of flexible aluminum slats for Venetian blinds. The company doesn’t just supply homeowners–the world’s tallest building, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa tower, sports blinds and ceiling systems by Hunter Douglas. Sonnenberg owns upwards of 80% of the company’s stock, and his sons Marko and David work for Hunter Douglas.
