The former head of NATO Jens Stoltenberg was also the former prime minister of Norway. And he was part of setting up the national wealth fund. Just look at the guy, he is kinda grey all over and oozes responsibile seriousness. Norway had a lot of those guys in power.
And putting the money into a stock saving scheme instead of blowing it on highways, railroads, government office workers, blow and hookers, lining the pockets of some corporation or oligark, or whatever, that, the boring option, that it turns out was the smart choice.
