Shame, it’s tough being 24 years old and worth $1,9 billion (R22,6 billion).
Gustav Magnar Witzøe’s father gifted him almost half of Norwegian fish farming company Salmar at the age of just 19, and thanks to that little nest egg he is now the world’s third-youngest billionaire.
Some rich folk tend to stay away from the public eye, but Gustav documents his #blessed life on Instagram, which makes having a snoop pretty easy.
Business Insider picked some snaps worth going over, and served them with some added info:
Gustav Witzøe [the father, below], who still runs the company, said that the family had “long discussions” over the decision to put a 19 year old in charge of the company’s shares. “There are pluses and minuses,” he reportedly said. “It can affect you in many ways, good and bad. It could affect relationships with friends.”
While his father runs Salmar, Gustav Magnar wants to “make his own mark” by making investments into local tech startups. In 2017 he invested in Norwegian Snapchat-challenger Gobiand and Airbnb host service Keybutler.
Outside of the worlds of salmon and tech, Gustav Magnar has plenty of tattoos and is apparently really into his fashion. He is a regular on the front row of Norwegian fashion shows.
Here he is with his mother, Oddny Witzøe. They’re a glamorous family.
When he’s not travelling, you might catch him driving around in a Porsche…
Tough bloody life, eh?
We shall exit stage right before our jealousy shines through, but you can see more of Gustav’s best Instagram snaps here.
