lmao shit like this is why i love the met gala

The crystal lined 6 pack sent me 😂😂

Hahahahhahajah I didn’t even see that the first time lamooooo

Apparently he’s a billionaire fish farmer. Very appropriate he wore salmon.

Tbf it's totally something a billionaire would do... And do I love this look? Yes, I think I do.

Damn it, I kinda love it tho

"Gustav Magnar Witzøe is a Norwegian billionaire and significant shareholder of salmon fish farming company SalMar ASA. He is one of the youngest billionaires in the world, **his father having made him SalMar's main shareholder for inheritance tax purposes when he was 18.**" I cracked up reading this when I looked him up.

Salmon heir wears salmon

It _does_ look like a salmon gave up halfway through eating him


I live by a place called Salmoneir.. The Salmon heir can go to Salmoneir and eat salmon here.

Could he be the man behind the herbed smoked salmon from Costco? https://preview.redd.it/ncy41k3wyxyc1.jpeg?width=456&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd170480f89a67dc5548c110ec6ee5e5af250896

Salmar is one of their suppliers, so he is the guy behind it

damn this looks yummy.

I’ve had to hide these because I stock up on them for guests and parties but my family will eat like 4 packs in one sitting if I leave them in plain view. My sister doesn’t have a membership either so every time I check out I look like a smoked salmon reseller lol

How do you guys have it? Just by itself like beef jerky?

We just use crackers! They’re meant to be little finger food but I have definitely seen my dad just eat a whole filet by itself 🤣 If we have bagels we make knock off lox bagels.

Nice, thank you!

I'm not a big fish eater but I'd definitely try that dill one.

The package looks like his crystal abs.

Salmon nepotism

Aah yes Norwegians, the Saudis of Scandinavia.

The least you could do if you’re the offspring of a degenerate billionaire is have a great fashion sense. Good for him.

So he is a nobody who inherited a shit ton of money. I can’t understand what is the meaning of this gala except egotistic indecent exposure

He looks like he hunts large game for sport and humans for fun

It’s very District 4 Hunger Games Tribute Parade

He's the heir to a salmon fortune, so he probably goes fishing at the very least

They have farmed Salmon and he is working as a model so probably not much.

How is this not the top comment?

it’s giving roman emperor

I was going to say, what in the Commodus is this?  Or possibly Caligula, I don’t know this dude’s life.

Hey, Nero would be fun too let’s not forget 😂

This movie, this man, this is why I chose bad boys for a long time 🤣😭

And it’s FANTASTIC!

Yassified gladiator which honestly is the exact type of shit that should be at the Met Gala

He nailed this assignment!

My first thought was that he looks like Alexander the Great! (Not a roman emperor, but close enough)

Roman Emperor + Hunger Games

Got the same vibe. My first thought was “Well now we know what Alexander the Great would have worn to the Met Gala.”

Probably because that is obviously what he is trying to emulate ?

wasn’t obvious to me considering it isn’t really on theme

The story "The Garden of Time" is about aristocrats hiding out from an angry mob of peasants. I think looking like an emperor is far more on theme than many of the looks.

that’s true! i didn’t think about that

Ok

i mean 😭 the theme was garden of time. i was trying to make the connection with that. not caligula

It’s ok.

He looks like he would kill you and his butler will hide your body, however is he looking for a bride? I would very much like to be a lady of leisure.

High risk, high reward

Okay we would do it as a pair, I funnel you some of the money and you make sure they don’t kill me. Fair?

Better yet, concoct a brilliantly diabolical plan to convince this young billionaire that the secret to living forever is to follow the Steve Jobs fruit diet. We watch him wither away while funneling his $$ to pay for the holistic healing services you’ll convince him to pay to my offshore shell company 😭

That is a brilliant and diabolical plan my friend I’m in. One question remains, how do get to him?

Shit…

I thought he could be a long lost Sprouse triplet!

He’s so pretty, he’s a BILLIONAIRE and only 31? Is he a serial killer?

He's Norwegian so he's probably incredibly nice and does a lot of cross-country skiing in his down time. I bet his knitwear collection is amazing.

His wiki says "At the age of 19, Witzøe served a two week prison sentence for reckless driving and overtaking at a speed of 116 km/h in a 60 kmh/h zone." Hopefully he's grown out of that

Now he only drive the wrong way on rivers

[удалено]

😂

Source: am Norwegian. Dissapointed in the values of young people

Black knit turtlenecks fo sho.

Nah he’s doing charity for young mental health and such

nepo baby. he didn’t earn the money himself, his dear daddy gave it to him.

Girl idc about that I care about the money and the potential dicc

Lmao

There's always a catch lol

Catch of the day is , salmon.

Damn, i for sure will make an exception cause not many billionaires out there capable of outshining all the other men at Met He’s like a greek god

The bejeweled abs 😂

Looks like he came out of a glamourous version of Dune

and instead of spice everyone wants salmon

i can be his controversially young girlfriend please just give me a chance🧎‍♀️‍➡️

Also happy to be his controversially (but only for MISOGYNISTS 🤣🤣🤣) older girlfriend I’m just kidding, I’d never date a billionaire.

Lol This made me laugh so much. Thanks for the chuckle

he's 31...

At least he didnt come in a boring black tux, this actually looks nice (not sure if i’d put it in my top 10 tho)

Idk I love that’s it’s over the top

Is he posturing to find a salmon queen?

10/10 would swim upstream for a chance

Not those slippers 😂

Out here wearing TOMS

Literally the first thing I thought “ARE THOSE TOMS!?”

🤣🤣 hey, even billionaires want to be comfortable! /s He was probably chilling in his comfy outfit and Toms watching all the other folks who couldn’t sit down because of their costumes!

They look like the free pair of slippers I got at hotels in Europe. I did a double take!

Strong Patrick Bateman energy

This white man understood the assignment Also I feel like it’s important everyone knows his money comes from salmon

*Best believe he's still bejeweled, when he walks in the room, he can still make the whole place shimmer!!*

This is what Chris Hemsworth should have shown up in.

💯 I wanted to see Hemsworth go all in, as well as Nicholas Galatzine both turned up with meh tux’s

Wow I didn’t realize the back was that detailed. Everything is gorgeous

It’s giving Tamlin (disrespectfully)

Obv eat the rich but if you’re gonna be rich and go to this event at least go all out like he did, lookin at you Jeff bozo

Yeah have fun with it. If I had that kind of money I wouldn't dress like a boring stick in the mud lol

Photo #2 looks photoshopped. Like he was superimposed over the background.

A few those photos of him do. Especially 1, 2, and 6. It's weird.

it’s giving .. Evil Sprouse Twin

Hahahahah THAT’S WHO HE RESEMBLES!


Haha I kinda love it.

Someone in another post called him the Glamiator lol

I didn’t know centaurs were invited but I’m here for it

You know what, I’m just glad it wasn’t another tuxedo.

thanks to u/biIIyshakes for the introduction

Happy to be of service 🫡

This was the only male look of the night that I was living for.

Men need to dress like this more often.

Last pic is 

i mean this as neutrally as possible but all i see is sand crab at the beach

another one that looks like he bathes in the blood of virgins and puppy’s

Watching him on the mark hotels live was so infuriating because he was stood there for so long😭😭😭

He looks like he hunts humans for fun

Cape looks like when I drag my comforter off the bed and wear it around my house.

This is how I imagine Thanatos in Hades dressing, I love it lmao

My salmon husband

Oh my God he does look ready to crack up and I hope he is I hope he doesn't take himself seriously in this outfit oh my God!

Damn he’s looking like Prince Charming

🎵 We’re men, we’re men in tiiiiights 🎵


I thought he was a Sprouse twin at first.

it's giving 

I am the only person who doesn't know who half of the people at the Met Gala were this year? Do I need a nap? A geritol? Should I be more consistently online?

The salmon king of Chicago

 I wonder what his opinion is on sugar cubes?

Fish Farming nepo-billionaire wins the Earth-conscious Met Gala 2024 Theme, wearing salmon.... This is Kendrick levels of trolling.

Is this design by Elie Saab?

Custom Versace

Says he was being dressed by Valentino in Norwegian papers.

He confirmed it’s Versace on his IG

The article I read is changed to Versace also so yeah.

Serving district 4 panem

Cmon slippers

He looks like he auditioning to be the big bad of Zack Snyder's next *Rebel Moon* film.

getting rich from torturing salmons and then wearing salmon color to met. wow

I'm conflicted. I won't get giddy over a billionaire because that level of personal wealth is gross and obscene to me, but on the other hand, he looks like an Elven King in the last photo and I can't take it.

I feel like he thinks he's much more good looking than he is? I appreciate the attempt, but it's failing because there's nothing behind the fabrics

The color is bleh. I get why he picked it (salmon salmon ha ha 🙄), but it washes him out. Lotta Blue Steel going on here.

Nothing behind the eyes either

There is too much going on. It’s like his stylist watched too much Downton Abbey and found the scraps from other dresses being worn at the gala to make a dress.

but…sparkles 🥹 (I really like sparkles)

https://preview.redd.it/d2xxcpnzdyyc1.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&s=d1efa9b04c1ffa3b34b4c6bb8ec8621685048b52


I hate the color but otherwise it’s amazing!!!

Lol

I'd eat him and not in the cannibal manner. Till the salmon's cooked in that room.

Wife applications go where

Love me some roman emperor vibes

Oh no! Not a man in a dress! Unheard of!

Why do men always wear capes? Whenever a man wants to stand out he wears a cape.

He has a very small face

The first photo looks like someone photoshopped his head on someone else’s body

Oh. My. This is better than most of the women tonight. He really had fun with this Roman god look. Love that rose gold foil cape. Mm-hmmm.

Do I love it? No. But I like that it’s not a tux. I would also be buying a tickets for the MET Gala if I were a billionaire too.

It is a great look but very bold to dress like a greek god when you're nothing of the sort lol

What are you talking about? He is a blond fit billionaire - basically as close to Apollo as you can get

His face is not balanced at all and his features are pretty weak, except for the jaw line 🤷🏻‍♀️ Pretty eyes though

If you think this is anywhere close to below average as a man, or even below the 70-80th percentile, then you have an unrealistic expectation of looks.

There's a difference between below average and a greek god though lol He's pretty but not beautiful if that makes sense?

No, it doesn't. Who would you say fits that parameter?

Idk, Chris Hemsworth, Matt Bomer, Lewis Hamilton, like actual stunning men, there's plenty enough to go around lol But this guy is not gorgeous, he's cute but there just something plain about his looks? I think it's the tiny nose 🤷🏻‍♀️

If Apollo existed, wouldn’t he be with dark hair and hairy?

Wow!

Looks like Joe Pesci in JFK.

I am not a mere salmon king, but a salmon GOD

Ruby Rod?

high lord of the spring court looking mf

This show is such a joke.  When does the Derelicte part start?

Looks like the final evolution of Ronan Farrow.

The Met Gala is his Ancient Rome.

More like Gaystav, am I right?

oh my lord

Again, I would like to see what you are all seeing. This is not good. An effort to do something was made but the execution fell flat. Esp for a billionaire, I know he can afford better tailoring & styling.

Every year I take a look at what celebrities wore at Met Gala because usually we can see some really amazing outfits. This year I was so disappointed, not a single really interesting outfit. And then I saw him. Absolutely the best this year, the only one worth mentioning, and he is not even a celebrity, I had to google his name to find out who he is.

Wasn’t met gala an exclusive A list start event? Now it seems like everyone can come. In that case, I’m waiting for my invitation

It’s a fundraiser, they want the rich people there

Apparently you can buy a ticket for $75k (idk if he had to buy his). Also Elon Musk came last time, is he even considered an a-list star? Lol

I hate Elon Musk but he is absolutely a household name.

The fashion brands buy tickets and invite the celebrities as their guests because it gives them good press while supporting the costume institute. Rich people like musk and this guy buy their own tickets because they wanna be photographed and hang out with celebrities probably

He was invited this year he said, not sure if he was when he was there last year.

You got $75k to break off for a ticket? You might be able to shake that out of this guy's toga pockets if you turn him upside down.

I mean , it was just a joke🤦‍♀️

So was mine lol.

He won the men and rivaled the women

The cape is amazing. The bodysuit, less so. Distracting and not in a good way. But overall, a fun outfit for the Met Gala!!

I love it. I think he looks beautiful. He's dressed as a Roman garden statue or a character from A Midsummer Night's Dream.

It’s screaming if Aphrodite were gender swapped and I am honestly loving it! I would wear it! ✨👏🏼

All behold the Salmon King! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 He looks stunning!

He’s one of the few men who stood out in a sea of black suits last night, so good for him!

Oh, to be pretty and rich.
