Billionaire art patron laid to rest
May 7, 2021
Tributes have been rolling in for weeks after Hans Rasmus Astrup, the shipping billionaire best known for being one of the world’s leading art collectors, died at his elegant farm east of Oslo in late April. He
was hailed as a friendly and generous man who’d inherited part of a shipping empire and did very well building upon it.

Øyeren. That’s where he died, on April 23. PHOTO: NRK screen grab
The company, which is currently owned by investor Christen Sveaas, is looking to raise NOK 360 million (€35.6 million/$42.4 million) through the listing, scheduled for April 26.
Sveaas acquired a majority stake in Lumarine for NOK 15.5 million ($1.8 million/€1.5 million) just last year. Sveaas used the vehicle to acquire lumpfish producer Atlantic Lumpus, and smolt producer Njord Salmon.
The price per share is NOK 3.40 (€0.34/$0.4), which values the company s share capital at NOK 402 million (€39.8 million/$47.4 million) before the capital increase.
