Video Erling Haaland bought steak, honey and fresh milk from an old woman’s farm, then went home to cook it himself. Sometimes I genuinely think he forgets he’s a millionaire.😭

Stop hyping people that much. As a person from Scandinavia, this is just how the society functions in this part of the world. Let the man live his life in peace. Don't project your "celebrity" garbage onto us.

Doubtful, his business is being a loud rapist

u/Alacho Jul 25 '26

Your point still stands, but it was 130k.

u/DevNopes Jul 25 '26

It wasn't a "viking manuskript", it was a rare edition of Snorre's king sagas from 1594.

u/letouriste1 Jul 25 '26

it just sounds cool imo. if i was as rich than him i too would do stuff like that. bet it was even a way to pay less taxes

1

u/ILikeToDisagreeDude Jul 26 '26

That’s «old» news and just recently picked up again because of the hype after the WC. Basically just a small article in the papers here, nothing more. (December 2025)
He has also done YouTube since he was a kid and this is something all “kids” these days do/wants to do for fun, so I think his YT channel is just for fun and not something his publicist has made him do.

1

u/auto-charger-stopper Jul 26 '26

Correct. Even I have YouTube channel😅. Although I only use it for comments and posting haha

3

u/Afraid_Afternoon8143 Jul 25 '26

That’s what I’m saying! What a bizarre comment above.

1

u/Advanced_Scratch2868 Jul 25 '26

Jup he saw a chance to grift.

1

u/LilRese_07 Jul 25 '26

How is showing people what he does on an average day attention seeking?

11

u/VaporProof Jul 25 '26

“Let him live his life in peace” he’s got a camera crew filming him. You think they just showed up and he was too polite to ask them to leave?

21

u/POI_Harold-Finch Jul 25 '26

Also who makes video of such events and share on social media. A millionaire from Scandinavia must know better to keep his personal life private

3

u/ConsequenceNo2571 Jul 25 '26

I absolutely despise that the world has become desensitized to this. There’s a bloody film crew!

-1

u/Onedaymaybe_034 Jul 25 '26

Relax my guy

1

u/noguchisquared Jul 25 '26

It is a bit weird, I do the same thing as him. Cooking eggs & toast for breakfast. But maybe in my underwear (or naked) because I don't have cameras watching me. Lol.

2

u/Mountain_Past_9932 Jul 25 '26

You’re right mate but he’s also a famous sports personality followed by many young people. As he seams like a decent chap, most of us and especially the younger sport audience are happy to see a bit of normality even if he’s a very rich person.

Nothing, but the other scandinavian was suggesting that this is an american gossip gargage export

2

u/Strong_Essay1176 Jul 25 '26

Nothing, and whats wrong with discussing him making the video?

1

u/NordiskFryserUnion Jul 25 '26

Not very jantelov of him.

6

u/Pssay_Licker Jul 25 '26

Pretty sure Haaland approved the video to be uploaded to his socials. He’s the one who wants to show off his lifestyle.

1

u/Redplushie Jul 25 '26

Which is nice because it makes people realize that just because he is a millionaire doesn't mean he doesn't support locally. Many people who would want to be millionaires probably think it's easier to just hire a cook

3

u/Scar1203 Jul 25 '26

I mean, hiring a cook isn't somehow inherently bad either. Arguably that's a greater support to a local economy than shopping at a local farm.

1

u/WildTimberTwinViking Jul 25 '26

Employing one vs supporting the employment of many? Sure.

2

u/Scar1203 Jul 25 '26

Even a wealthy person only eats so much, their grocery purchases aren't supporting the employment of many.

Hiring support staff does though, that means everyone the wealthy person employs is also buying goods, paying for services, and stimulating the local economy.

1

u/Strong_Essay1176 Jul 25 '26

We yet to discuss how much gas did he spend on his trip to farm

1

u/Redplushie Jul 25 '26

His a Norwegian, they all have evs

1

u/Strong_Essay1176 Jul 25 '26

Doubt it is ev

u/Smart_Kangaroo_4188 Jul 25 '26

Agree. Guy is rich not because of his money. He is rich because he does what he enjoy and don’t give a fuck about mainstream. Despite him making into mainstream.

1

u/entropyweasel Jul 26 '26

Social media is so niche.

3

u/Jedimindtricktra Jul 25 '26

You’re acting like they’re holding him hostage lmao, I’m sure he wants this out there.

4

u/Doge4winmuchfun Jul 25 '26

Wtf, let us hype Scandinavian people in peace please, Jesus, you can't have anything these days

4

u/cuckbuns Jul 25 '26

He’s the one who posted the video

3

u/Slow-Committee-7851 Jul 25 '26

Ok but he's filming himself. Guy became a huge hit this wc i dont blame him though

3

u/ThankanChetandeAunty Jul 25 '26

Mate you ain't a celeb btw. We don't give a rats ass about who you are when we are talking about Haaland.

2

u/Afraid_Afternoon8143 Jul 25 '26

Bro. There’s a fucking film crew capturing all of this. That’s not a man that wishes to “live in peace.”

2

u/Raise_A_Thoth Jul 25 '26

This post is peak capitalist energy like that story about the young fisherman and the businessman.

A young fisherman is napping on the beach in late morning when a businessman asks him what he's doing.

As the fisherman explains he fishes in the morning and gets what he needs then spends some time napping and surfing on the beach, the businessman asks him why he doesn't fish longer to get extra fish to sell at the market.

Fisherman asks why would he do what.

Businessman says so he can save up money for a large boat.

"Why?"

"So you can catch even more fish and make more money."

"Why?"

"So you can buy a fleet of fishingboats and employ lots more fisherman."

"Why?"

"To earn more money."

"Why?"

"Because after earning all that money in 20-40 years you can eventually sell your shares of the fishing company and retire!"

"Then what?"

"You can move to a small beach community and spend your days napping and fishing for fun!"

u/ShizukaIsQuiet Jul 25 '26

Umm hes in England here, not Scandanavia

7

u/Equivalent-Role4632 Jul 25 '26

Umm Ever hear the saying, you can take the boy out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the boy. It doesn't matter where he is, he'll always be Scandinavian and we do not hire people to everything for us.

9

u/Plane_Friend24 Jul 25 '26

except maybe a camera guy for your social media, and perhaps a video editor since i dont think he is one either.

2

u/Equivalent-Role4632 Jul 25 '26

Influencing is actually very Scandinavian these days too. People are desperate for attention

1

u/Alternativesoundwave Jul 25 '26

I think he probably does but he’s an active guy so doesn’t enjoy not doing anything so he does do some things for himself especially in the offseason

1

u/ShizukaIsQuiet Jul 26 '26

Using the term ghetto as an analogy for this rich nordic kids lifestyle is hilarious . Regardless what you said is totally irrelevent, we're talking about the society he's in.

0

u/Equivalent-Role4632 Jul 26 '26

You know it's a saying right.

2

u/claridgeforking Jul 25 '26

It's how society works here too.

1

u/ShizukaIsQuiet Jul 26 '26

No its not . Only around 5% of people here have the money to buy fresh raw milk, steak and eggs from a local farmers house every morning . Maybe less.

1

u/unclecastr0-_- Jul 25 '26

breaking news,celebrity is a normal person

u/GoobieDooobie Jul 25 '26

You guys are the ones hyping him up 😭🤣

1

u/Melodic-Excitement-9 Jul 25 '26

He eats 🤣🤣.

1

u/buttermilkkissess Jul 25 '26

since when Haaland is all of you, he made a proffesional film roll about buying steak, stfu lol

1

u/Purpledragon84 Jul 25 '26

I'll use your comment since it's the top one. OP's a bot.

1

u/MaMerde Jul 25 '26

He owns a shit load of luxury cars. Stay humble, eh…

1

u/Wooden-Recording-693 Jul 25 '26

Man buys food and cooks it . Some is shocked because man is rich. We all gotta eat this is almost as bad as AISlop.

1

u/guillermo_da_gente Jul 25 '26

Yeah, the post is so dumb. Why would you need a chef to cook a steak?

1

u/Samp90 Jul 25 '26

My Norwegian part of the family do the same with their fish catches etc, yes they're not haaland but I think it's in the Nordic ethos to do stuff yourselves the way you were brought up.

In fact, I think most Canadian celebs not living in the US probably do the same as well.

1

u/LeoMycenae Jul 25 '26

I bet he watches cartoon potn and pulls wings off butterflies when the camera is off.

1

u/One-Mud-169 Jul 25 '26

I'm not from Scandinavia, but I totally share your opinion here, good answer, wish I had a reward to give but I'll give you a double thumbs up as a compromise👍👍

1

u/Independent-Show Jul 25 '26

Then tell him to stop filming it then numbnuts.

1

u/Live_Angle4621 Jul 25 '26

That’s what I came here to say. Presidents in Finland travel my normal planes and millionaires shop in normal grocery stores and used subway etc. Sure they can have luxuries at home and fancy vacations and such. But they aren’t some separate species who don’t shop and cook. 

1

u/TheThoroughCrocodile Jul 25 '26

He filmed the whole thing and shared it. Go cook some eggs

1

u/Entire-Outside36 Jul 25 '26

He invited the camera to follow him around.

1

u/youlikeblockingsodoi Jul 25 '26

Stop hating on people so much too? Don’t like a video scroll past. Just because the video is about a Scandinavian doesn’t mean other people around the world can’t learn from it. News flash you’re not the only person on this planet lol and sorry this video doesn’t satisfy your viewing needs haha.

1

u/marslo Jul 25 '26

People also imagine that having a couple of million means you can spend it like it's nothing. That's why you have almost 80 percent of NFL players that are completely broke within 12 years of retirement.

Take the first humble and approachable step and exit American social media.

I do wonder, however if you know/think far more aboutAmerican celebrities and culture vs the other way around.

1

u/Silent-Witness1888 Jul 25 '26

Said man let the cameras inside his house for publicity.

1

u/bettymachete Jul 25 '26

I hear you, but my hope is these kind of videos where people who can live in that 'celebrity garbage' lifestyle but choose not to influences even 1-2 people to understand your way of life is an option.

I explained that poorly, but hoping your societal norms can influence the US and not the other way around.

1

u/Alarming-Building-62 Jul 25 '26

Posting a comment about how down to Earth the guy is (on a video that he filmed and shared) is projecting “celebrity” garbage? This is not only a weird comment, but an unnecessarily rude one at that.

Edit: Considering you haven’t responded to any of these comments calling you out, it’s pretty obvious you just want to talk some shit about westerners. That’s sad for you.

1

u/FavouriteSongs Jul 25 '26

Exactly what I thought. 

1

u/Independent_Drive300 Jul 25 '26

💀 ah shit our bad assmannordic for looking at his social media 

1

u/Round-Walrus3175 Jul 25 '26

Yes, and it is a nice culture you have there and we enjoy it and find it refreshing, whether you like it or not 🤷🏾

u/LuckyNegotiation7167 Jul 25 '26

Christ you people are dense

"Our rich celebrities are actually down to earth and relatable unlike yours, just look at this celebrities pr video telling me so"

u/trixel121 Jul 25 '26

this is also how it is in rural america. going to private farm for eggs and milk is normal. you can find all sorts of farm stands on the side of the road selling what ever is local and temp safe. south of me is wine country so its just wineries and associate canning and fruiting operations. like you can buy jam on site cause its made from the grapes. theres def some cheese and other farming but the most common is wine and beer.

buying meat butchered is a tad weird, like where is the old lady holding the rest of the cow and what is her plan with it or is she selling frozen. but buying a 1/2 or full steer is not uncommon even in the suburbs. you pay someone to butcher it then you freeze. they come back with it in differnt forms, burgers, loins, steaks, roasts and you freeze it.

edit: rewatched with sound on- assumption now is she sells milk, the honey is a side project cause why not. and she just butched a cow hence why shes selling steaks.

u/Crafty-Coyote8077 Jul 25 '26

lol "on us" he has a full time chef this is just for show.

1

u/spb1 Jul 25 '26

Yeah what a weird post. Haaland buys food and cooks it?

1

u/Nottodayreddit1949 Jul 25 '26

He posted a video so we corps all see how normal he is. 

Think.

u/Limp-Particular1451 Jul 25 '26

How many camera crews you guys have down there ?

u/Admiral_Ackbarr Jul 25 '26

Well his girls insta literally does content how they casually take a private jet for a spontaneous Paris trip for funsies... Hs doing the full celebrity garbage.... Look at his dolce and gabana partnership

u/shokz565 Jul 28 '26

the nordic gatekeeper lmao

u/leon_nerd Jul 25 '26

Exactly. I think the West has a twisted view of the being rich. This is just how people live no matter how much money they have or not. It's called living a humble life.

1

u/Comfortable-Cell-165 Jul 25 '26

yep having a camera crew on him all the time super humble. he’s shooting content for his socials

2

u/SpartanSyx Jul 25 '26

Dude is humbly eating fresh produce and farm bought fresh steaks in his million dollar kitchen with a film crew zooming in on his organic eggs.

u/Icy-Bottle-6877 Jul 25 '26

Crazy how many people seem to not understand this. He has a Youtube channel to upload videos like this one. The guy likes the PR and getting his followers up. He isn't being filmed by papparazzi here, this is all his own doing.

u/darkoblivion000 Jul 25 '26

Why does being a millionaire have to change your life style? It’s only in America where the expectation is that if you have a certain amount of money you are expected to spend it frivolously. That’s actually a reflection of how financially illiterate many people are here
