Hopefully he gets signed by Fjord Models.
Page Six hears that Fashion Week’s new “it” boy is, unfairly, a hot model and a billionaire, by virtue of being an heir to Norway’s largest salmon fortune.
Sockeye spies tell us they spotted 29-year-old Gustav Magnar Witzoe — who sports piercing blue eyes and blonde locks — at a meeting for Gigi Hadid’s new fashion line, Guest in Residence, at L’Avenue at Saks on Tuesday , hanging out with Zendaya’s Stylist, Law Roach.
Apparently Witzoe, who we’re calling Salmon Smoking, is worth a staggering $4 billion, according to Forbes.
His father, Gustav Sr., gave away half of his company, SalMar, one of the world’s largest salmon producers, in 2013.
Witzoe previously told Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet that his parents now “believe they should have taken more time to think this through” before hooking him up with a large inheritance at the age of 19. It was very strange at first. It makes you a little nervous about what people think.”
He seems to be getting used to it.
Salmon’s progeny has invested in European startups such as Snapchat competitor Gobi and Key Bulter, which helps Airbnb hosts with maintenance. He also has a philanthropic organization, The W Initiative, which supports children’s health and education.
He’s represented by Oslo-based modeling agency Idol Looks, but we’re told he won’t be taking part in any shows this season.
But he’ll be around town going to various events this week, including Tom Ford, where we’ll be looking for him at the top.
Between the money and the mug, he’s pretty caught up.
