Education
- Kjell Inge Rokke owns over 68% of publicly traded Aker, a shipping and offshore drilling conglomerate.
- He got his start selling fish off a boat in Seattle before returning to Norway where he built a fleet and a reputation as a ruthless corporate raider.
- In 2016 Aker decreased its ties to the industry that made Rokke rich, selling a stake in fishing firm Havfisk to Leroy Seafood Group for $250 million
- Rokke commissioned a nearly-600-foot yacht in 2017 that will spend part of its time on environmental research missions in partnership with WWF Norway.
- The superyacht, which will be able to accommodate up to 60 scientists and 30 crew during research expeditions, is expected to be completed in 2025, five years behind schedule.
