Biography
- Ilkka Herlin is the great-grandson of famed Finnish business leader Harald Herlin, who invested in Kone Elevators in 1924.

- Antti maintained control over the elevator business while his siblings were given stakes in Cargotec, producer of machinery for heavy duty ship cargo.
- Niklas, one of the sibling, passed away in 2017. Three of the siblings are billionaires.
