32-year-old unknown
Røkke had an income of NOK 411 million in 2022, and he paid NOK 78 million in taxes.
Kristoffer Daniel Norambuena, a hitherto unknown 32-year-old who was ranked 7th last year, dropped out of this year’s list.
Second on the list is Ranvik Bergstall from Larvik. She is the daughter of Jacob Solgaard, one of the two founders of the Jacken Group, which sells packaging. He earned NOK 392 million last year, which is NOK 19 million less than Røkke.
Jacken became part of the Peavy Group listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange in 2022.
In third place is high-profile investor Øystein Stray Spetalen. His income in 2022 was NOK 353 million. This made him a solid improvement on the list from 2021 when he was ranked 85th.
High achievement
The tax settlement for 2022 shows that over NOK 1,700 billion in tax was paid last year.
– This is the highest number we have ever recorded in a tax settlement, and is due to a large increase in petroleum tax. But for companies, wage earners, pensioners and the self-employed, the figure is higher than in previous years, says tax director Nina Schönge Fannemark.
The heirs of Mon and Ferd fell further
Bergen billionaire and investor Trond Mohn was the top earner in 2020.
Last year he was ranked 24th, but this year he dropped to 90th with an income of NOK 51 million.
Ferd’s successors, Alexandra Kamlemshak Andresen and Katharina Kamlemshak Andresen, also fell. Both billionaire John H. Andresen’s Daughters. Together they own an investment firm called Fert.
Last year, the sisters finished 6th and 23rd respectively. This year, Alexandra can be found at number 17 with an income of NOK 133 million, while Katarina drops out of the top 100 list.

9th is Gelston
Another high-profile name is investor Björn Rune Gelsten. In 2021 he ranked 2nd with an income of NOK 584 million, this year he dropped to 9th place with an income of around NOK 193 million.
At the same time, his wealth has decreased from 2.2 billion in 2021 to around 856 million in 2022.
In January, it became known that Gjelsten had transferred majority ownership of the investment company Gjelsten Holding to his daughter, Ingrid Gjelsten, who lives in Switzerland.
This happened as a direct result of increased taxes, he wrote Finsavicen.
– In 2021 I paid 205 million in private tax, which is 600,000 per day, or 25,000 per hour, 24 hours, 365 days a year. It was irresponsible over time, the billionaire told the magazine at the time.
These are the top earners in Norway in 2022:
“Music geek. Coffee lover. Devoted food scholar. Web buff. Passionate internet guru.”
