Norwegian comedian and actor Thomas Giertsen is selling his 80-square-meter apartment on St. Hanshaugen in Oslo for a projected total price of 12,4 millioner kroner, according to property documents obtained by Nettavisen. The 55-year-old originally purchased the five-room property for 2.050.000 kroner in 2004, marking a substantial value increase over 22 years of ownership.
Apartment Details and Rental History on St. Hanshaugen
According to the Finn.no real estate listing cited by Nettavisen, the 80-square-meter residence features four compact bedrooms measuring approximately two square meters each, all facing the courtyard. The listing describes the unit as a “particularly efficient five-room apartment” with strong rental potential. Historical rental listings uncovered by Nettavisen show the property rented for a monthly price of 33.000 kroner in July 2024, while a 2022 listing marketed the flat as “perfect for kollektiv.” Giertsen himself is officially registered at a separate villa on St. Hanshaugen that he acquired for 25 million kroner in 2015, according to Nettavisen.
Portfolio Management and Business Ventures
Addressing the apartment sale, Giertsen told Nettavisen that the transaction is simply part of “ongoing portfolio management” and stated it is “nothing more dramatic than that.” He added that the 11,9 million kroner price estimate relies on broker assessments using statistics and discretion, noting that “what the price of the apartment actually becomes, the market decides.” Beyond his comedy career, Giertsen has built a substantial real estate and investment portfolio through his holding company, Egeberg Holding. Financial figures reported by Finansavisen show he earned 55 million kroner on stock investments over a two-year period, alongside a 37 million kroner payout from selling his stake in production company Feelgood in 2019, which he originally founded in 2003.
