He paid more than 86 million in taxes. On the top list we also find Nicolai Tangen, with a fortune of 6.47 billion. The head of the Oil Fund has built up his fortune as the founder of the investment fund AKO Capital. Since he started working at the oil fund in 2020, his money has been managed by Gabler Investments AS. The third richest in Norway is Ferd heiress Alexandra Andresen. Right behind her follows her sister Katharina Andresen. These contributed the most to the state coffers. Had these people moved abroad, they could have saved significant amounts. Instead, they contribute a lot to the Norwegian treasury. NOK 1,297 billion was paid in tax in 2023. In comparison, over NOK 1,700 billion was paid in tax in 2022. – The total is lower than in 2022, which comes from the fact that the kerosene tax was lower. Despite the decline from 2022, the petroleum tax for 2023 is the second highest ever, says tax director Nina Schanke Funnemark Although Witzøe is the richest, Katharina Andresen paid higher taxes. In 2023, she had a net income of almost NOK 700 million. Kjell Inge Røkke, who in 2022 announced a move to Switzerland, is also still high on the tax lists in Norway. He paid almost NOK 134 million in taxes to Norway.

The searches are not anonymous – you can see who has searched for you, and others can see that you have searched for it. According to the tax director, many Norwegians are still interested in the tax lists. – Our figures show that there are still well over one million who log in to check the tax lists, says Schanke Funnemark.
