Norway's Wealth Disparities Revealed

Published: 2024-12-04

The 2023 tax data in Norway highlights significant income and wealth disparities across the country.

With a median income of 324,368 NOK and a median wealth of just 1,000 NOK, the figures reveal stark contrasts between different regions and individuals.

The top earners, such as Kjell Inge Røkke and Katharina Kvasnes Andresen, report incomes in the hundreds of millions, with Røkke's income reaching over 824 million NOK.

Meanwhile, the average taxpayer contributes a median tax of 95,131 NOK.

This data not only underscores the economic divide but also raises questions about wealth distribution and economic policies in Norway.
