Nielsen later moved to Lillehammer in Norway where he owned the Bellevue guest house for many years. During the 1994 Winter Olympics, he offered rooms for free in contrast to other local hotels that asked for premium prices.[4] From the proceeds of selling his guest house, he bought the old ferry Mjøshfergen in 2006 to convert it into a restaurant.[5] Two years later, he sold the ferry to a restaurateur.[6]
