About Ivar Tollefsen

Real estate investor Ivar Tollefsen started his first company at age 14, Tollefsen Enterprises, which rented out DJ-services and event equipment.

With the earnings from his disco business he began building a real estate empire, now called Fredensborg AS.

Fredensborg owns 100,000 apartments across Europe and, in 2017, bought an Oslo building that used to house the U.S. embassy.

Tollefsen has led several polar expeditions and has competed in the Dakar Rally.
