Henrik Frederiksen (born 1943/1944) is a Danish businessman and vintage car collector.
Frederiksen has been called "one of Denmark's wealthiest men".[1]
Frederiksen grew up in Virum and began his career as a student in Matas. As a 27-year-old, he became an independent materialist, and in the following years bought eight more Matas stores.[2] When Matas was sold to CVC Capital Partners in 2007, Frederiksen was among the largest shareholders.[3]
In 2015, Bonham's auctioned his collection of 48 cars, mostly pre-war, including Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, Lagonda and Maybach, at his home Lyngsbækgård, a 16th-century manor house built for the Danish royal family, close to Ebeltoft on the eastern coast of Jutland.[4][1][5] The sale was expected to raise $25–40 million.[5][1] His cars included a Bentley S1 Drophead Coupé, first owned by John D. Rockefeller Jr.[6]
Frederiksen was married to Vivi until her death in Spring 2015.[1] Her favourite car was a 1937 Maybach SW38 Zeppelin Special Roadster.[1] They had built the car collection together and had never sold a car, but her death led to him selling the entire collection.[5]
