Petter Olsen

Petter Olsen

Petter Olsen is a Norwegian billionaire and member of the Olsen shipping family owning the company Fred. Olsen & Co.. He is the younger brother of the current leader of the company, Fredrik Olsen. Petter Olsen owns one of the four original versions of Edvard Munch's "The Scream" (1893) and has been involved in a legal process against his brother concerning the important Munch collection brought together by their father Thomas Olsen; according to the will of their mother Henriette they were to be left to the younger son. Fred Olsen disputed the will but lost the case in the Oslo District Court in 2001.

Since 2006, when the Company began performing at Ramme Gaard, Olsen's ecological estate with an outdoor amphitheatre on the coast of Norway, the Norwegian billionaire and philanthropist has been the patron of the British Shakespeare Company.
