Olof K Gustafsson on the luxurious lifestyle: “I don’t like to flash too much”
Olof K Gustafsson has never reported any income in Sweden, but in social media he often shows off air travel with private jets, luxury cars and expensive watches. Is his rich lifestyle real, or just a myth? In an interview with News24 he responds to the speculation surrounding his riches. How does he actually react to the criticism that he is a fraud?
– I don’t like to “flash” too much, but I have half a million on hand. Brand new Rolex Sky-Dweller, not even available in stores. And I know it exists, but I don’t sit around and care, says Olof K Gustafsson.

The Swedish entrepreneur Olof K Gustafsson has for many years received a lot of attention in the media. Even as a 17-year-old, his plans were to become a dollar billionaire before he turned 30.
– I have been hated on the Internet more or less since I debuted as a 16-year-old. Back then I was a super legit teenager who had a few companies and went to Kungsholmen’s high school, he says and continues:
– Even then I had hundreds of pages on Flashback where people sit and criticize one and hate one. But the truth is that when you’re suffering in the snow, I’m chilling in the Bahamas, and when you’re riding the subway, I’m riding a Rolls-Royce.
Responds to criticism: “Many have called me a mythomaniac”
In other words, according to his own statement, Olof K Gustafsson seems to have a lot of money. But the fact that many are critical of his lifestyle does not bother him.
– Many people have called me everything from a mythomaniac to fat, but it doesn’t matter to me. I am not here to seek anything from these followers or fans. So for me, they can think what they want, explains Olof K Gustafsson and continues:
– I express my opinions without caring because I have no reputation to protect. I work for Pablo Escobar’s family and it doesn’t matter what the media writes about me. That reputation cannot be tarnished. I’m not looking to get a good reputation and go work at SEB. It’s not my thing. I work for myself and that’s it.
– When I sit in my luxury villa and can buy what I want, can have what I want and can do what I want, then it doesn’t seem to matter much.
That’s how rich Olof K Gustafsson is – here is his net worth
But exactly how much money does Olof K Gustafsson really have? He apparently stopped counting years ago.
– I really do not know. When I didn’t have money, that’s when I counted money. I remember when I was poor and had nothing. I continued counting money when I started getting money rolling. Then I sat with Excel sheets and had this Swedish mentality that I wanted to know my net worth, he tells Nyheter24 and adds:
– But then when I was like 20, before I started working with Pablo Escobar, then my net worth exceeded approximately 1.8 million dollars, I think. Then I stopped counting because it just became traditional. It wasn’t that exciting for me. So I don’t actually know how much money I have.
