This is how much Irma Lehtosalo gets in retirement
Before Irma became a TV hit, she worked in elderly care and as a cleaner, two professions that are not known to be highly paid. To The evening paper could Irma recently tell you what she gets in retirement.
– Money comes and money goes. It is not cheap to live in a house with heat, water and sewage. But I have a little more money now and can buy things for the grandchildren and that feels important. I only get a little over SEK 9,000 in pension, she says.
Despite the moderate income, Irma can rightly be happy that she is involved in the company Färjholmen Holding AB, of which Marko is also a board member. According to All companies the company’s turnover was SEK 8,446,000 in 2023 and the assets were SEK 13,015,000.
Congratulations on your success Irma!
