Princess Ragnhild, Mrs. Lorentzen Net Worth

Background and career

Princess Ragnhild, Mrs. Lorentzen (Ragnhild Alexandra; 9 June 1930 – 16 September 2012), was the eldest child of King Olav V of Norway and Princess Märtha of Sweden and the older sister of King Harald V. She was the first Norwegian royal baby to have been born in Norway since the Middle Ages. In 1953, she married the industrialist Erling Lorentzen, a member of the Lorentzen family of shipping magnates. In the same year, they moved to Brazil, where her husband was an industrialist and a main owner of Aracruz Celulose. She lived in Brazil until her death 59 years later.

Although she was the King's eldest child, she was never in the line of succession to the Norwegian throne, owing to Norway's then law of agnatic succession. She was in the line of succession to the British throne and occupied the 16th and 17th places during her childhood and youth.
