Better Globe provides two corporate entities tied to the company, Better Globe AS (Norway) and Better Globe Forestry Ltd. (Kenya).
Both entities appear to be shell companies operating out of PO Boxes.
On its website Rino Solberg is cited as Better Globe’s Chairman of the Board, founder and principal owner. I have also seen Solberg credited as Better Globe’s CEO.
On LinkedIn Solberg cites his location as the “greater Oslo region”. This suggests Solberg operates Better Globe out of Norway.
Better Globe began as Green Planet in 2003. The company was founded by Helge Normann, incorporated in the UK but run out of Norway.
Prior to Green Planet, Normann was a promoter of the GreenStar pyramid scheme.
Normann had joined GreenStar in October 2000, and more than 2,000 Nordic members were quickly recruited to the company.
When GreenStar collapsed as a result of prosecution in Australia, Normann saw his move to bring both the business concept and the membership base into a new company he himself controlled.
Green Planet’s business model focused on charitable causes in Africa.
Under the slogan Making Money Doing Good , members were recruited with promises to contribute to the reduction of deforestation in Africa in parallel with the opportunity to earn money by recruiting new members.
In 2005 the Norwegian Gaming Board investigated Green Planet and found it to be a pyramid scheme.
That decision was later amended
‘it was found probable that a significant part of the company’s activities were based on sales of goods or services.’
This sounds like the old “we have products, we can’t be a pyramid scheme!” defense, which doesn’t hold up today.
Green Planet collapsed in 2006, purportedly resulting in millions in losses.
Towards the end of Green Planet’s run the company partnered up with Rino Solberg’s company Child Africa.
Solberg was appointed Green Planet’s Chairman of the Board.
Following Green Planet’s collapse, victims were
‘offered membership in Solberg’s new company Better Globe.’
Better Globe launched in 2006. It has not been the subject of a regulatory investigation to date.
Solberg himself has been involved in network marketing since the 1970s with the Holiday Magic pyramid scheme.
As a result of his involvement in Holiday Magic, Solberg was charged with fraud and violations of the Norwegian Lottery Act.
Although Holiday Magic was a pyramid scheme, resulted in widespread losses and at least one Norwegian victim committed suicide as a result of said losses, Solberg would go on to be acquitted.
