Bjork Transitions Into Economics
Filed under: Bjork
Looks like even the crazies have a good heart.
Eccentric singer Bjork has become….a venture capitalist!!!
WTF??? Why????
She has teamed up with Reykjavik-based Audur Capital in order to help raise money to invest in different businesses in Iceland, her native land.
The country has been having financial troubles, especially since their financial system collapsed in October.
As for the 43 year-old, she will start fundraising in early January.
And reports estimate that thanks to Bjork's involvement, they expect to raise about $16.5 million by the end of March.
Nice!!!
Bjork and Audur Capital have already invested a lot of their own money as well.
Audur's chief executive, Kristin Petursdottir, said "We believe there are some interesting investment opportunities related to our nature and green energy. We need to pursue these investments even in the current crisis because that's really our future and we need to do things differently than how we have done in the past. We want economic return but in a sustainable matter."
Iceland, which has a population of about only 320,000 people is being described as one of the hardest-hit countries due to the global financial crisis.
It's banks have also been seized by the government and has debts of more than six times Iceland's annual gross income.
Nice to see Bjork helping out!

Someone I know gave me a copy of her Volta cd… it was so good I use it as a coaster on my coffee table…..
i am not a fan of her music but you got to give her credit for helping……..
come on guys , be nice
I'd boink Bjork, if she wears that swan dress.
Love her!
Very nice of her!
Icelander here, the recession has hit us badly and the inflation is out of control! Nice to see Björk helping out, she's a gem.
it is actually Björk not Bjork:)
super talented + good deed = love Bjork!
Why is everyone hating on Bjork? At least she is doing something to help people, she is not half as rich as Parasite, and nobody criticizes the bitch for doing nothing but gifting crap for christmas in front of the paps
YO SHE IS SO STUPID I MEAN IF UR A SINGER WTH?? WOULD YOU GET INVOLVED IN ECONOMICS JUST LET PEOPLE PAY YOU GAWRSH WEEOTHCH!!!!!!
Pretty good…for a weirdo
I just got to say, cuz I´m an icelander….
I´ve never liked her kind of music but I love her for what she stands for, being herself and believing in herself..!!!
None the less our economy is our fault but it´s nice to hear that somebody is lending a hand, cuz we need it… not everybody are fucked here, it´s mostly the once who went on a spree,that are FUCKED….
So Björk takk fyrir að hjálpa okkur,
knús og kossar
Neníta
BJORK IS EXCEPTIONALLY TALENTED..NOT TO MENTION SHE HAS A HUGE HEART AS CAN BE EVIDENCED…DOWNLOAD "HUNTER" FROM HER 1997 CLASSIC ALBUM :"HOMOGENIC" !!
Itz patriotism!!! good for her and I LOVE Iceland…Awesome place! Great ppl!
It should be a travel destination for all ppl! Great Nation! Great place! Interesting food!??!?!?!?
This woman just wants to be a chicken huh?
It would be easy for Bjork to Live In NYC or London or whereever and forget about what's going on in Iceland . . . but she doesn't . . . she's giving back and not as a spokes person . . she's really working and using her brain. She's doing similar things for environmental issues too and tying both issues together.
It would be nice to see ANYONE (celebrity or not) take on such things.
We should all take note. Respect.
Oh uou mean BJÖRK… Bjooork *hrmf*
Iceland is my chosen home. It's so heart breaking to see how just a few greedy fatcats went and sunk the entire economy. Now the parliment is on holiday until the end of January! So it is nice to see that someone is taking action to help. I'd much rather see use of their green energy to solve the financial crisis than digging for oil off the coast like Norway is pushing. To those of you who just think Björk is a crazy bitch, obviously you have not crossed a drunk Icelandic girl at 5am on a Saturday while stumbling down Laugavegur!
Björk is the musical genius of all time!
bjork must be PAST IT right now
takk fyrir okkur !
