Ole Rasmus Møgster

Ole Rasmus Møgster (10 July 1958 23 February 2010) was a Norwegian businessperson.

Together with his brother Helge Møgster he built up the companies Austevoll Seafood (which Ole Rasmus controlled, as a major owner and chairman of the board) and DOF ASA (which Helge controlled).[1] In 2008 the brothers were two of the three billionaires who were active in the Norwegian fishing industry. The third billionaire was Kjell Inge Røkke.[2] The Møgster brothers cooperated with Røkke off the Alaska coast between 1987 and 1994.[1][3]

Møgster was also chairman of Lerøy Seafood Group, but backed out in late 2009 because of illness.[4]

Møgster lived and worked out of Birkeland near Storebø. He died in February 2010.[1]
