Tributes pour in for the late tycoon Thon

Quick Summary:

Olav Thon, widely viewed as one of Norway’s most unconventional billionaires, died over the weekend at the age of 101.

The real estate tycoon, hotel owner and philanthropist never really retired, and remarried when he was 95.

Other investors and even rivals of Thon were also paying their respects to the man who was born and grew up in Hallingdal before making his way to Oslo and logging his first profits by selling some animal pelts.
