Tangen has actively funded initiatives within arts and education through the AKO Foundation. He is credited with holding the biggest private collection of modernist Nordic art in the world. In 2019, he was placed 6th in The Sunday Times Giving List, which ranks philanthropists from the UK based upon the proportion of personal wealth that they have given away each year. In 2020, his appointment as the chief executive officer (CEO) at NBIM proved controversial with some sources describing it as “the biggest crisis in the fund’s 24-year history.”
