Katharina Gamlemshaug Andresen (born 21 May 1995) is a Norwegian heiress who, as of 2020, ranks as the third-youngest billionaire worldwide, with an estimated net worth of US$1.1 billion according to Forbes.
She is the daughter of Johan H. Andresen Jr., the proprietor of Ferd AS, who in 2007 allocated 42.2% ownership shares each to Katharina and her sister Alexandra. Her lineage traces back to a distinguished family with several generations engaged in business, including her great-grandfather Johan H. Andresen and great-great-grandfather Johan Henrik Andresen.
In November 2017, Andresen received a fine of 250,000kr (approximately US$27,000) for driving under the influence, having a blood-alcohol concentration three times above the legal threshold, which led to a 13-month suspension of her driving license.
In 2019, she revealed intentions to move to London, England.
