Shipping company owner John Fredriksen takes first place on Kapital’s list of the country’s 400 richest, which was published this evening. Fredriksen, who has had Cypriot citizenship since 2006, has a fortune of NOK 124 billion. That is 10 billion more than the previous year. Rema 1000 founder Odd Reitan, in second place, has also had a profitable year and increased his wealth by NOK 13 billion to NOK 64 billion in 2022. Financier Ole Andreas Halvorsen is narrowly behind in bronze place with NOK 62.5 billion in wealth. Men are the richest In total, the 400 richest manage assets worth NOK 1,884 billion. A staggeringly high number that can also be described as follows: 1,884,000,000,000 NOK 1.8 trillion This makes up approximately 15 per cent of the oil fund’s value. For that money you could buy 2,281,148 Jaguar E-Pace or around 18 billion kilos of Gudbrandsdal cheese. On the list, men occupy 88 percent of the positions. 48 women are in the Top 400 this year, with a total fortune of NOK 143.5 billion. According to Kapital, there are fewer and fewer women on the list, and only three of them have built up their wealth themselves. Nevertheless, the total wealth of women is record high. Admittedly, you have to go down to 29th place on the list to find Norway’s richest woman: Else Helene Sundt with a fortune of NOK 8.7 billion. Four under 30 If you look at the average age of Norway’s richest, it is just over 63. Olav Thon (99) and Fred Olsen (93) are doing their part to raise the average. But four people under the age of 30 are on this year’s list. Here the gender distribution is 50/50. Norway’s richest under 30 are Carl Einar and Julie Rasmussen, who clock in at 220th place. They are the heirs of shipowner Einar Rasmussen from Kristiansand. Bettina and Joakim Burud in shared 369th place after heirs Kiwi owner Per-Erik Burud and are part owners of the food giant Norgesgruppen. One in ten has moved abroad It caused reactions when Norway’s 7th richest man Kjell Inge Røkke said goodbye to Norway and moved to Switzerland earlier this month. Røkke is listed with a fortune of NOK 45.3 billion. Among the top 20 on the list, seven of them have moved abroad. A total of 40 of the 400 richest have changed citizenship. These 40 are listed with a total of NOK 462.7 billion in assets, around a quarter of the total assets on Kapital’s list.
