Tech entrepreneur Dyar Al-Ashtari has bought an Oslo villa for 150 million kroner, paying 45 million kroner more than the asking price.
We look forward to moving in.
The 631-square-metre property in Nordraaks gate, Frogner, was listed last year at 105 million kroner as a renovation project that was still being completed. The property register confirms the 150 million kroner purchase, while a mortgage security registered in March had pointed to an estimated price of about 125 million kroner based on industry practice.
It is a residence outside the ordinary.
The villa is being finished to the buyer's preferences. Developer รrjan Haverstad of Farga AS, which handled the project, previously said the home was unique and had attracted unusually strong interest in its price range. He described it as a residence that would be "outside the ordinary."
Our philosophy is no cure, no pay.
Al-Ashtari, 31, is a self-taught internet millionaire who arrived in Norway as a war refugee from Iraq. He started his first company at 13 after finding a security vulnerability in YouTube, later founded Dyar Marketing Labs and launched Pear AS in 2017. His businesses focus on digital services, including search engine optimization.
Remember, development is not only about coding, it is about creating solutions.
