Christian Ringnes' investment company Ringnes Holding ended up with NOK 13 million last year.
In the previous year, the company made a pre-tax profit of NOK 108 million.
This results in a decrease in profits by up to 87 percent.
– The 2023 result was a weak result compared to previous years, Christian Ringnes tells E24.
The decline is believed to be mainly due to two things: 1) lower dividends from Victoria Eiendom after the company paid an extraordinary dividend in the previous year, and 2) a share loss of NOK 25 million.
