Palantir-toppens eiendommer i Norden

Alex Karp, the controversial figure behind the data analytics company Palantir, has been expanding his Nordic real estate portfolio. The billionaire, who founded the firm in 2003, is believed to own 15,000 hectares of forest in Härjedalen, Sweden. This latest acquisition is part of a growing trend of Karp investing in Nordic properties.

In 2021, he purchased his first home in Norway for $12.4 million, a cabin near Hafjell. A few months later, a cabin in the same area was purchased by a mysterious company called Hohenems AB, a foreign-controlled entity with no clear ownership. Over the past year, Hohenems has bought three more cabins in the Hafjell region, as well as properties in Sjusjøen and Tromsø.

These purchases have largely evaded public scrutiny. Recently, Karp was seen near a Tromsø property where he reportedly made a 29.7 million NOK purchase. Some locals claim to have seen Karp near these properties. Karp, known for his controversial comments about war and security, has been outspoken about his support for Western values and his dedication to developing defense technology.

He recently attended a meeting with President Donald Trump and other AI leaders, where he emphasized the importance of AI for "the warrior" and businesses, while advocating for secure technology.
