At just 25, Erling Braut Haaland, the star striker for Manchester City, has built a fortune exceeding 4 billion Norwegian kroner — roughly 50 billion Icelandic kroner, according to the Norwegian magazine Kapital.
After his contract renewal with Manchester City this summer, Haaland is thought to be earning around 5.8 million Norwegian kroner a week — about 84 million Icelandic kroner. Those are numbers that tend to stop people mid-sentence.
The Norwegian business newspaper Dagens Næringsliv reports that Haaland relies on a tight circle of experienced financial advisors to manage his investments. The names mentioned include:
- Ole Ertvaag – co-founder and chairman of the investment board at HitecVision
- Harald Espedal – former CEO of Skagen Fonder
- Odd Torland – former manager of the Smedvig family’s holding company
- Dag Sigvart Kaada – co-owner of the prestigious law firm Schjødt
- Arne Fredly – renowned investor and financial specialist based in Monaco
The group reportedly meets on a regular basis whenever Haaland is away with either the national team or Manchester City — making sure his wealth is being handled by people who know what they are doing.
Beyond their financial credentials, the advisors are said to share a genuine love of football and a fondness for high-performance cars — a detail that fits neatly with the world Haaland now moves in.
