Skansen Jonas is financially independent – ​​tells about the wealth

Jonas “Skansen-Jonas” Wahlström72, grew up as an orphan in a mother-only family Helenfather Gosta and the brothers Goran and Thomas.

He never enjoyed himself at school, and already at a very young age was drawn to the animal kingdom. His first animals were four guppies – but the aquarium inside the boy’s room quickly grew larger. Soon, mice, guinea pigs, snakes, turtles, a badger and meerkat all got together.

“Not all at the same time. But it was still quite crowded in my boyhood room. There were both live and dead “stuffed” animals. Pure national museum,” says Wahlström in his book called Det hände på Skansen – 125 wild stories.

Wahlström got his first annual pass at Skansen when he was eight years old. Times looked different and after a few years he had to start helping feed sea lions and bears with a baby bottle.

In 1971 Skansen’s aphus closed and Jonas had the opportunity to rent the demolition object to organize his own snake exhibition. It lasted for three years.

“Then I had to rent the whole house, blew out the mess and built Skansen-Akvariet, which opened in 1978,” Wahlström writes in the book.

Today, more than half a century later, Jonas Wahlström is still at Skansen and he has passed retirement age.

When he visits News24‘s podcast “Flødet”, he tells us that all the years of hard work have made him financially independent. But it is not necessarily the salary at Skansen that brought him there.

– My pension is not staggeringly high, but aside from the pension, I have had a lot of luck with good advice and share investments and such. So it has made me financially independent, says Wahlström in Flödet and continues:

– Both my wife and I have sold homes over the years that have increased in value by upwards of a thousand percent.

So you’re not staying at Skansen for the salary?

– No, no! It’s just the only thing I can do.

How much salary is it then?
