Hafthor Björnsson is currently gearing up to take his feud with Eddie Hall into the ring with their upcoming fight. 

The World’s Strongest Man title winner has broken some seriously impressive records, all the while carrying a huge amount of pent up beef with Hall, which calls as far back as his competitor’s win at the Strongest Man competition in 2017.

Who is Hafthor Björnsson and why is he famous?

Hafthor Júlíus Björnsson is a professional strongman, actor and former pro-basketball player from Iceland, Europe.

In 2015, Björnsson was crowned the World’s Strongest Viking in Norway, after carrying a 10-metre long log for five steps - beating a 1,000-year-old record in the country.

Thor also famously played the role of Gregor ‘The Mountain’ Clegane in the fourth season of HBO’s Game of Thrones in 2013, his first acting role. 

In May 2020, the heavyweight athlete deadlifted a record-breaking 501 kg under World’s Strongest Man rules, beating Eddie Hall’s previous record of 500 kg. 

Thor’s Key Facts:

  • Real Name: Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson
  • Age: 33
  • DoB: 26 November 1988
  • Nationality: Icelandic
  • Net Worth: $2 million (£1.9 million)
  • TikTok Followers: 428K 
  • Instagram Followers: 3.8M
  • Twitter Followers: 89.1K
  • YouTube Subscribers: 591K

All numbers are correct as of 17th March 2022.

Hafthor Björnsson’s Net Worth: How much does Thor earn?

In 2022, Hafthor Björnsson has an estimated net worth of $2 million (£1.9 million), according to

WealthyPersons. 

Not only does Thor have a stellar strongman and acting career, as well as his basketball past, he has also gained sponsorship and helped advertise for companies like sports nutrition supplement company Transparent Labs through his Instagram platform. 

The strongman has also co-founded a US-based Icelandic protein yoghurt in recent moments, aptly called Thor's Skyr.

What is Hafthor Björnsson’s boxing record?

Hafthor Björnsson actually doesn’t have a boxing record to date. His fight against Eddie Hall will be his first in the ring, meaning he technically has a boxing record of zero fights, wins, losses and draws.

The fight is, however, set to be the “heaviest boxing match in history”, according to The Daily Star.

Who Is Hafthor Björnsson's wife?

Hafthor Björnsson is married to Kelsey Henson, a Canadian model and fitness expert.

The pair welcomed a baby boy on 26th September 2020, while Thor is also father to daughter Theresa Líf from a previous relationship with Thelma Björk Steinmann.

The Sun previously reported that the heavyweight athlete and Henson met at the diner in which she worked while he was attending a competition in the town, and the pair have been inseparable ever since.
