Meet Scandinavia's 'King of Hotels,' a fashion-minded billionaire who spends his fortune investing in environmental efforts and bailing out failed travel companies
Petter Stordalen is a Norwegian hotelier who wears 12-pound, one-of-a-kind Balmain jackets, rappels down the facades of hotels, and spends his fortune investing in environmentally friendly causes. He now owns the biggest hotel chain in Scandinavia along with a smattering of other business ventures, including the Scandinavian arm of recently bankrupted Thomas Cook, but he got his start selling strawberries in his local market. The 57-year-old is worth $1.4 billion, according to Forbes.
