Palantir CEO Alex Karp purchased 37,000 acres of forest in Sweden's Härjedalen region through his company Cladonia Skog AB for $22 million, disrupting local hunting rights that were previously leased through the land's former owner, paper manufacturer SCA. The acquisition reflects a broader trend among billionaires investing in natural lands as inflation hedges and for recreational purposes, though it has sparked local controversy over access to the forest.
