4. Kathrine and Cecilie Fredriksen
If you’re into tall, blonde Scandinavians, have we got a treat for you. Kathrine and Cecilie Fredriksen are the twin daughters of John Fredriksen; Norway’s former richest man (who abandoned his citizenship). Fredriksen made his fortune in shipping and is known for having made a killing (pun intended) during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s. He moved Iranian crude oil during the conflict, and while the risks were high, the rewards were vastly higher.
His daughters Kathrine and Cecilie, both have business degrees and work for one of their father’s shipping companies: Frontline. The family are also active in philanthropy, mainly funding cancer research (their mother died of cancer at a young age) and other medical initiatives. They are also art collectors and have been involved in the fashion industry.
