Axel Wenner-Gren
Axel Lennart Wenner-Gren (June 5 1881 - November 24 1961) was a Swedish entrepreneur, founder of the world famous Electrolux and ALWEG companies and one of the wealthiest men in the world by the early 1940's.

One of his most lasting (other than the foundations he founded) achievements was the development of the monorail train system, as originally built at Disney World and elsewhere by ALWEG. ALWEG is an acronym for his initials (Axel Lennart WEnner-Gren), and Weg sounds like "road" in Swedish, which may or may not be coincidental.
