In January earlier this year could News24 reveal that a Swedish well-known male influencer had gotten into major financial problems, which became so serious that he had the Crown Bailiff come after him.
On Instagram, the man, who is in his 30s, has over 150,000 followers. Outwardly, he has lived a life of luxury for several years with extremely exclusive designer clothes, lavish shopping trips and expensive watches.
Brands like Christian Dior, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Balmain dominates his flow, and around his wrist he usually has watches from Swiss Rolex or jewelry from, among others, French Hermés.

But when reality caught up, it became clear that he had assets of SEK 18,300 and debts to, among other things, American Express of almost SEK 40,000. But the juiciest debt was the one to the Tax Agency – they discovered that the man had unreported income and claims that totaled SEK 1.8 million.

According to documents that Nyheter24 then took part in, the Kronofogden notified the man of seizure – and they seized a branded jacket from a well-known French brand worth SEK 10,000. They also took a gold link from French Cartier with an estimated value of SEK 80,000.

Before the male influencer was placed in personal bankruptcy, he had been in trouble with the justice system several times before. Last year he was arrested on suspicion of drug offenses for possession of the drug crystal and cocaine. Doping and a couple of ampoules of testosterone were then also found.
Before that, he has been sentenced to a suspended sentence and a day’s fine for assault after punching a man in the face.
In March, just a few months after the Kronofogden made its first seizure, they struck again. Then the authority took a pair of sunglasses from Louis Vuitton and a set of children’s clothes from Ralph Lauren.

At that time, the man’s debts amounted to SEK 543,540.
Now Nyheter24 can reveal that the man’s debts have grown – and that the Crown Bailiff has once again taken the hard gloves. The influencer’s debt is now over SEK 675,000.

In a notification from the Crown Enforcement Agency, it is now clear that the authority has seized one of the influencer’s many Rolex watches.
Hanna Hellberg is an expert in both jewelery and watches. She is heard regularly in Smickespodden, runs the Instagram account Hanna the Magpie and has previously commented Anders “The Angry Carpenter” Öfvergårds clock, Chris O’Neill’s generous gift for the princess Madeleine and the enormous jewelry collection which Petter Stordalens cohabitant Märta Elander Wistén sits on.
Jewelery expert Hanna Hellberg can be heard in the Jewelery podcast and in the clock podcast Klocksnack with Denke and Berns.

With the help of pictures from the influencer’s Instagram account, it is clear that he has had at least three Rolex watches in his possession.
The total value of the man’s watches amounts to approximately SEK 570,000.

Hanna Hellberg mentions that the price she started from is what the watches are sold for on sites for used watches, but that the Kronofogden probably values the watches significantly lower.
About the influencer’s taste in watches, Hellberg says:
– There are three classic, iconic and highly recognizable watches, perhaps the opposite Loro Pianos Quiet IYKYK (If you know you know, editor’s note) Luxury. This is for those who want to flex, but who don’t have friends who are so knowledgeable.

Hellberg tells us that one of the influencer’s watches, the Rolex Datejust, was launched back in 1945 and has since been released in several different designs. The particular link that the influencer has in his possession is called the Jubilee and is the most classic on that particular watch.
The male influencer has an Instagram feed filled with luxury, so perhaps it’s no wonder that his watches also follow suit.
– That together with the “fluted” turning ring he has are also choices that make the watch more blingy. Here he has the same on both of his Datejusts, Hanna Hellberg tells Nyheter24.
