Move over Tim Cook, there’s a new hot billionaire in town.
Stein Erik Hagen (pictured) is one of Norway’s top businessmen. The 59-year-old executive owns multiple companies in everything from commercial real estate to e-commerce. He’s worth an estimated $4.3 billion, making him the second richest person in Norway.
Oh, and did we mention he likes guys?

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Hagen, twice married with four children, just came out as bisexual in an interview with the Norwegian talk show NRK.
“I gradually discovered that I was attracted to men,” he explained. “I was almost 30 years old when I realized I was bisexual.”
Despite not being publicly open about his sexuality until now, Hagen said both of his ex-wives were aware of the situation.
“Everyone in the family knows,” he explained. “All of my friends … It comes as no surprise to them.”

Hagan said the only reason he’s taken this long to come out publicly was for the sake of his children. He wanted to wait until they were older.
“I have full support from the kids,” he said. “It feels good. They support me 100 percent.”
As for whether he’s seeing anyone right now, Hagan had this to say: “I’m open to everything … Right now I have it very good. I have four children and am very happy.”
“I have no boyfriend.”

Wait a minute …
Is this some kinda sly “backdoor” maneuver to get Stein Erik Hagen to buy Q.Digital?

meanwhile … Towleroad has a post about someone painting the word “F_G” on an abandoned building 20 miles out of Moscow.

martinbakman, My grandmother once said, “Class is an odd word. The second you mention it by name, it disappears.
Billy Budd, The application may be picked up at your local Norwegian embassy.

I prefer that he said he’s bisexual instead of gay. Even though I don’t like the word “bisexual”, it is a more accurate description of this billionaire’s sexuality than the word “gay”.
Men who have even the smallest fraction of attraction to men are often called “gay” by the gay community, by women, and by society at large. It’s because these interest groups cannot cope with the idea that a man who is attracted to women can also be attracted to men – or vice versa.
Why is there such resentment towards men who can potentially turn away from women and towards men? Power, power and power.
Such men have enormous power. Women don’t own them. Gay men see such men as threatening their liberal coalition with women by increasing a woman’s resentment towards male homosexuality in a general sense. And society is so imbued with the bisexual double standard of pornography (ie girl-girl “hot”, guy-guy “gross”) that it cannot see things intellectually but rather through the groins of the the porn purveyors.
Brian
Oh, and did I say that he can pamper me with his billions? Spread me over his satin sheets and nip at my buttocks with his Nordic canines? Roll me over and sprinkle me with the juice of freshly opened tuna cans? Give it to me, Stein, give it to me.

I would charge him one million bucks for every BJ. Deep throat all the all, of course!
Billy Budd
all the way, I mean.
Brian
He can spank me with dollar bills while I scream in ecstasy. Then he can put his experienced mouth onto my tender points while I yell for mercy.
Kangol
What kind of guys does he like? That’s the question. Is he into twinks? Leather? Guys his age? White men? Black men? Latino men? Asian guys? Mixed-race? Chubs? Nerds? All of the above? Anyone who’s male, breathing and not eyeing his wallet?
Corduroyal
I’d hit that.

@Brian:
I’v found gay men as a group are in denial/accusatory that bi-sexuality is real and quickly label bi-guys as just in denial closeted gay men. I prefer my bf and have learned to keep my attraction and history with women past and present to myself.

Would the people here who claim or feign attraction to him be attracted to him if he was not wealthy?

@Bisexual-Transwoman:
He’s right up my alley – wouldn’t care if he were dead-ass broke.

I’d still prefer Tim Cook.. Coz Apple.

I am an eligible bachelor. If he would like to marry me, i could certainly oblige…
dvlaries
And when the clothes come off and you get in bed together he’s just a 59 year old guy again, past his physical prime. Then you see his handsome, built chauffeur, valet, gardener, butler, social secretary and/or several legal advisers, and get to ponder the finite good years of your own you traded away for the ‘soft’ life. I’ll bet its a tougher choice than it looks like from a distance.
Unless Stein is in the market for a fellow 59 year older. Any wagers?
Billy Budd
He is two times BI. BIsexual and BIllionaire.

I can see all the gold diggers flocking over to Norway right now. I’m wondering if they would do that if this guy had no money at all ??
cabe
@woodin: I think its because over the past several decades I have never ever met one true bi male. There are plenty of true bi females but not males. Males usually use it as a safe way to come out of the closet and say they are bi at first and then a year later identify as gay. I’m not trying to judge but its just what i’ve seen
Tackle
@cabe: Exchange the word year for years, and that’s exactly what I did.
Brian
@cabe: Almost all men can swing both ways. Words like gay and straight were invented by women and effeminate men to weaken men as a gender.
I hate the word “bisexual” because it suggests that one is equally attracted to men and women.
youarekiddingme
@Brian: There you go again with your Bullshit about the word Gay. Why the f@ck don’t you do a little research on the subject before you open your pie-hole again huh?
“By 1955, the word gay now officially acquired the new added definition of meaning homosexual males. Gay men themselves seem to have been behind the driving thrust for this new definition as they felt (and many still do), that “homosexual” is much too clinical, sounding like a disorder.”
GAY MEN (Homosexual men–not women or “effeminate men”…whatever the f@ck that means) were the one’s who supported the definition of the word “Gay.” The original word was used in the 17th Century in England. Look it up. You might pull your head out of your @ss!
Brian
@youarekiddingme: Gay means happy. Always has. Its application to homosexuality is an invention.
youarekiddingme
@Brian: An invention…As are all words. That aside. Just like your tiny mind Brian. You make statements of which you have no factual basis. “Words like gay were made up by women and effiminate men…” You have ZERO PROOF of your Bullshit statement!! There are volumes of information on what I provided you.
Woman hater….Just admit you’re a SEXIST!!!
Have a problem with “effiminate” men?…Wtf have you done in your life? What do you do for a living mister macho stud?
Still sittin in momma’s basement…with your tool in your hand…and a dildo in your ass…

@woodin: Said…..”I’v found gay men as a group are in denial/accusatory that bi-sexuality is real and quickly label bi-guys as just in denial closeted gay men.”
_________________________________________
Mostly because when some person who has never dated women for real comes out as “Bi”, then later admits that they are gay, the bisexuals on here seem to freak out and claim that he was pressured to change to gay. Nope, for some reason many people see admitting bisexuality as a step on their personal road to coming out, if the bisexuals on here acknowledged that because it is so common it would make them seem less deranged. It is no different than gay people refusing to admit bisexuality exists.
As for this guy, he keeps saying he doesn’t have a “Boyfriend”, didn’t say “Or girlfriend”, seems like he has a definite preference.
Billy Budd
I don’t care if he is Bi or Homo or Straight, I just wanna be his lover and receive all the pampering I deserve. I want to be spoiled and treated like a king by a wealthy billionaire.

As my late partner always said All Men are Bi! Are you really fine happiness with the rich bf or partner? Question you really need to ask yourself…what going to happen if thing doesn’t work out? Can you survive after the lavish lifestyle? He have the money and power and you might start worrying lot of other boys will try to get him into bed and etc…maybe he is not that type of person whoring around but the jealousy always play part of it! I have a friend who have multimillions £ partner and I can see what is coming especially dined with them couple of times…Be Happy and keep smiling!
oohlala1974
Btw I been told he lives in New York most of his time…Good Luck American Boys!
