Charging banks and cars on the exchange

The Norwegian star began investing in Oslo Borse through Pillage 3 last fall.

Car shipping company Höegh Autoliners was the first stake the investment firm took, and Pillage 3 has been buying and selling in the shipping company ever since. E24's investor listings show that.

Haaland also traded shares in Røkke Akastor and Sparebanken Sør ahead of the new year.

The value of shares on the Oslo Stock Exchange bet on by Pillage 3 at the end of 2023 amounted to NOK 16.9 million.

In 2024, Haaland invested in cancer vaccine company Nykode Therapeutics and real estate company Entra. In addition, he stockpiled Akastor shares, and continued to sell up and down Höegh Autoliners. This will no longer appear in the 2023 shareholder register.

Water Bottle Ambassador

Haaland still owns shares in the water bottle company Aquafigure, either directly or through Pillage 3. He has been an ambassador for the company since 2020, and they sell their own Haaland bottle.

The football star also owns 682 shares in Telenor. It is worth about 87,000 NOK today.

The shareholder register shows that at the end of 2023, Haaland was a co-owner of Sola M600, which owns private jets.

Earlier this year, there was an uproar when Finansavisen reported that Sola M600, and thus also indirectly Haaland, had bought a new private jet. Haaland responded by writing “Don't believe everything they write about me” and “clowns” On Instagram. He wrote the next day FinanceAffairs.com That Haaland should have sold the Sola M600 before buying the new plane.

“Looting”

The name Pillage 3 plays on the name of plunder, which is what the Vikings did in England more than 1,000 years before Haaland began his career in English football.

The investment company was established in 2023, and Haaland owns it through a company in Luxembourg. Father Alfie Haaland and former England pro Egil Ostenstad sit on the board of Pillage 3.

In addition to the stock market activity, it became known last January that Haaland and his father Alfie had entered into a partnership with the Ertvag family regarding investments in commercial real estate in the Stavanger region.
