Jo Lunder, who was group chief executive for shipowner John Fredriksen in 2015, earned a pre-tax profit of NOK 75m ($9.3m) from his private company Cigalep last year.
Lunder took up his post with Fredriksen in May 2015, but was dismissed after his arrest a few months later by the Norwegian Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime (Okokrim) on suspicion of corruption at his previous employers, Telenor Group and Vimpelcom (now Veon).
