It was during the early 1990s that Gry Forssell made his television debut, then as a presenter in SVT Växjö and with among others Pernilla Månsson Colt by his side.
Since then, Forssell’s career has struggled to say the least. She has hosted everything from “Silikon” on TV3 to “Sommartoppen” on P3 Sveriges Radio and in recent years she has been seen in major productions such as “Gladiators”, “Körslaget” and “Sommarkrysset” on TV4.

The latter program, which Forssell began hosting back in 2006, was put on hiatus in connection with the corona pandemic in 2019 and has not been seen on television since.
– It hasn’t happened since the pandemic, and there won’t be anything this year either. Then we’ll see. I don’t know if it’s paused, I think they make decisions year by year, but as it stands now, nothing will happen, Forssell told The Express year 2022 and further stated:
– I think it’s astral. But we’ve had 14, I say now, fun years. And I am very happy for them.

Despite the closure, the presenter stated, in an interview with The evening paper in 2023 when she turned 50, that the television career has been far beyond what she expected.
– When I started working as a presenter at SVT in Växjö, I had a salary of SEK 11,500, or something like that. At the time I was 19 years old and thought that going to Växjö and working with television was just a seasonal job. It’s just something you want, not a real job, something you do for the rest of your life. I just thought it was a fun thing, then I had tried to continue seeing it as a fun thing and continued as long as it was fun and now 30 years have passed and it’s still fun.

But Gry Forssell has certainly not disappeared from the limelight just because the long-distance runner “Sommerkrysset” seems to have gone to the grave. She can be heard in the morning show “Gry Forssell with friends” in Mix Megapol, every weekday, since 2004.
Over the years, her “sidekicks” – including Anders Timell, Malin Stenbäck and Claes Åkeson – has come and gone, but the radio program has continued to engage listeners around the country. “Gry Forssell with friends” has also been awarded several times, including in 2005 and 2008 when the program was named “Morning Show of the Year”.
Even Gry Forssell herself has been praised for her efforts in radio, for example in 2019 when she was named “Programme of the Year” by the listeners in Guldörat.

In other words, Forssell’s career is rolling along. If it gives the dividend also on the account? It seems so. News24 has taken a closer look at the television and radio profile’s company and income.
Gry Forssell’s company has a turnover of millions
It turns out that Gry Forssell is active in two companies: Blondino Produktion AB and Grys Dryckehandel AB. In the latter, which was founded in 2023, there are no financial statements and thus no key figures that tell how the business is doing.
In Blondino Produktion AB, however, it is possible to get a better picture. The company, which was founded back in 1998, is engaged in everything from television production and DJ operations to horse breeding and importing wine and coffee.

In the spring of 2024, it was clear that Forssell would start importing wine.
– Life is too short to drink disgusting wine! Alex to whom I am married and I have long been drinking wine and going to wine tastings both under the auspices of the system company and privately and we have been on many wine trips in Europe. A few years ago, Alex attended the restaurant academy’s sommelier training and then it became even more nerdy and deepened his interest, she told The wine exchange when.
