The Norwegian financial newspaper wanted a comment from Norway’s richest man John Fredriksen about what he felt about his recent decrease in net worth as the market value of his companies have fell along with the rest of the market in the recent weeks.
When confronted with that he has lost 4 billion since the top, he replied, “In Dollars or in Norwegian Krone?”.
Great answer.
It seems that he is a very comfortable owner and not obsessed with the daily wiggles of the market.
