Hans Anders Rausing, KBE[1] (25 March 1926 – 30 August 2019) was a Swedish industrialist and philanthropist based in the United Kingdom.

[2][3] In the early 1980s Rausing moved to the United Kingdom to avoid Swedish taxes,[4] in 1995 he sold his share of the company to his brother, Gad.

By the time of his death in August 2019, Forbes estimated the net worth of Rausing and his family to be $12 billion.

[10] Tetra Pak's success in the 1970s and 1980s has been credited to the leadership of Hans and Gad Rausing, who turned the six-person family business into a multinational company.

[12][13] Through the Märit and Hans Rausing Fund, they supported local community projects in their home county of Sussex.
