Tor Mikkel Wara's house in Røa, Oslo, which gained notoriety in 2019 as Norway's most talked-about residence, has been sold for 19 million Norwegian kroner. In December 2018, Wara, who was then the Minister of Justice, faced a scandal when the word "rasisit" was spray-painted on the exterior of his home, an act of vandalism tied to controversies surrounding his political stance and public persona.

Wara's political career faced significant turmoil following the vandalism incident. After authorities revealed that his former partner, Laila Bertheussen, was a suspect in threats made against their family's property, Wara resigned from his ministerial position. The incident brought national attention to the intersections of politics, public safety, and the personal lives of political figures in Norway.

The sale of the house marks a significant moment in Wara's life post-politics, potentially allowing him to move past the controversies that have surrounded his public life. The high sale price reflects the property market dynamics in Oslo, despite the home's troubled history, and prompts discussions about how public perception and personal controversies affect property values and life choices for public figures in Norway.
