Haaland's investment firm nets over 40 million kroner in stocks last year

Norwegian football sensation Erling Braut Haaland experienced a successful year not only on the field but also in the stock market. His investment company, Pillage 3, posted a pre-tax profit of 40.5 million kroner in 2025, a significant increase from 25.4 million kroner in 2024. By the end of last year, the company's stock portfolio was valued at an impressive 367 million kroner.

While these investment earnings are substantial, they pale in comparison to Haaland's massive salary from Manchester City. The Norwegian striker signed a nine-and-a-half-year contract in 2025, extending until the summer of 2034. Forbes estimates his annual earnings at $62 million, or over 620 million kroner, placing him among the world's highest-paid footballers.

Egil Østenstad, a former professional player and described as Team Haaland's "finance director," serves as the chairman of Pillage 3. Haaland's father, Alfie Haaland, is also a board member. The investment company is owned by Pillage 2, a Luxembourg-registered entity. Østenstad manages Pillage 2 alongside three other administrators in Luxembourg, as previously reported.

Pillage 3's initial investment was in the shipping company Höegh Autoliners. While the company was active in its investments, activity appears to have ceased in the fall of last year. The company's financial statements do not provide details on its specific stock investments. However, records indicate no purchases of Norwegian stocks on the Oslo Stock Exchange since August of last year. The company did, however, sell shares in Akastor, Nykode Therapeutics, and Maritime & Merchant Bank as recently as March.
