At 19 years old, Alexandra Andresen is the world’s youngest billionaire with a fortune estimated to be worth $1.2 billion… and apparently, pretty much all she does with that money is ride horses competitively.
Along with her older sister Katharina, Alexandra shares a 44.2% stake in investment company Ferd, which their great-great-great grandfather started in 1849 when he bought a tobacco factory and turned it into the leading cigarette maker in Norway for over 150 years. Then in 2005 they sold their share for $500 million and the already rich became even richer.
But instead of buying yacht after yacht or having a vanity acting-slash-modeling career, Alexandra seems to drop all her cash on horses.

And get this, when she’s not busy riding horses, Alexandra is busy saving money.
In an interview for her family’s company’s corporate magazine, Alexandra said, “I actually save all the time, I have always done. I save when I get my weekly allowance, and I save the cash prizes I win in competitions or if I get money as a gift for my birthday. It means I can buy myself things I really want, like a bag or a pair of shoes, without having to ask mum or dad for money.”
Paris Fashion Week is getting a little more provocative. Tom of Finland Foundation presents Packed for Pleasure, a new group exhibition exploring nearly a century of art, desire and censorship—and the creative ways artists have continued to make and share work when society tells them not to.

Before understanding that she could work in fashion, Maria Braz already understood the power of an image. Music videos, movies, magazines, red carpets, shows. Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna. As a child and teenager, she watched, recreated, dressed up, invented characters, and turned her computer into a set for her own productions.
Fashion week, trend fatigue, relationship scheduling, accidental wellness, and the annual September identity crisis. Maybe nothing is wrong with us. Maybe we’ve just been online too long.
Fashion Week is happening, TikTok discovered something that already existed, Mary-Kate and Ashley left the house, and naturally, I have thoughts. Welcome to NOT THAT SERIOUS.
