Gustav Magnar's extreme wealth comes from his stake in Norwegian fish farming company Salmar. He owns almost half of the firm, which is one of the world's largest salmon producers.

Salmar is headquartered on the island of Frøya in the region of Central-Norway, where they also have a processing factory.
Gustav Magnar's father, Gustav Witzøe — who founded the company in 1991 — gifted Gustav Magnar's stake to him in 2013, when he was just 19.

Gustav Witzøe, who still runs the company, said that the family had "long discussions" over the decision to put a 19 year old in charge of the company's shares. "There are pluses and minuses," he reportedly said. "It can affect you in many ways, good and bad. It could affect relationships with friends."
While his father runs Salmar, Gustav Magnar wants to "make his own mark" by making investments into local tech startups. In 2017 he invested in Norwegian Snapchat-challenger Gobiand and Airbnb host service Keybutler.
