Palantir CEO Alex Karp Buys 37,000 Acres of Swedish Forest
The $22 million purchase ended hunting leases on 37,000 acres, and the new owner said it plans forestry and related activities.
- Palantir CEO Alex Karp acquired 37,000 acres of Swedish forest through his newly registered company Cladonia Skog AB for about $22 million, prompting immediate termination of local hunting leases.
- Previous owner Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget sold the property because it was suboptimal for forestry; ending hunting agreements was a condition of the sale, as the firm could only grant rights on land it retained.
- Cladonia board member Jenny Lopes Da Silva said, "The new owner of the forest property is committed to the beauty of the land and its preservation." Karp maintains an existing Swedish footprint through Palantir's defense partnerships.
- Local hunters discovered the land transfer upon receiving termination notices, according to Swedish newspaper Tidningen Härjedalen, which reported affected hunters previously held agreements for land south of Storsjö Kapell.
- Buying large swaths of natural land has grown into a trend among the ultrawealthy, with farmland alone becoming a $4.3 trillion asset class in the United States, often complicating recreational access for residents.
