He ends up being King of Denmark. Since the entire royal family of Denmark gets dead in the last act, and Fortinbras happens to be there with an army, he wins by default.
Fortinbras says that he has some claim to the throne of Denmark. This is crap--he has no claim at all as Claudius showed clearly in the first act. He is just a scumbag adventurer who happens to be in the right place at the right time.
