Julian Ryerson Net Worth

Julian Ryerson is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a full-back or wing-back for Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund and the Norway national team. Born on 17 November 1997, he came through Viking after joining from Lyngdal IL in the summer of 2013.

Norway's official tax list for the 2024 income year records his net wealth at NOK 17.4 million, about $1.8 million at the November 6, 2026 exchange rate. TV 2 printed the figure on December 3, 2025 in its tables of Norway's biggest sports names, alongside taxable income of NOK 254,104.

What the tax list shows

TV 2's table for income year 2024 lists Ryerson with income NOK 254,104 and net wealth NOK 17,386,174, registered in Tyskland. The list figures come straight from the Norwegian Tax Administration, which publishes every taxpayer's income, wealth and tax each year. His Norwegian taxable income was only NOK 254,104, because, as TV 2 noted, players paid abroad usually pay most of their tax in the country where they play.

Net wealth on the list is assets minus debts at tax values. Homes are counted well below market price and shares at a discount, and money held through a holding company appears only through the value of its shares.

Career at a glance

Ryerson broke through at Viking in 2016, playing 18 league matches, mostly at right-back. In July 2018 he joined 2. Bundesliga side Union Berlin on a three-year deal. After promotion he scored his first Bundesliga goal in a 5–2 home defeat to Bayern Munich on 30 October 2021, and his first European goal in a 1–0 Conference League win at Maccabi Haifa a month later.

Dortmund signed him on 17 January 2023 to replace the injured Thomas Meunier, on a contract until June 2026. He scored on his early appearances, including the second goal in a 2–0 win at Bayern Munich on 30 March 2024, Dortmund's first Der Klassiker victory since 2019 and first win at the Allianz Arena in ten years. On 13 February 2026 he provided four assists, all from crosses, in a 4–0 win over Mainz, becoming the fourth player in Bundesliga history to do so. He made his senior Norway debut on 18 November 2020 in a 1–1 Nations League draw in Austria and was named in Ståle Solbakken's 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

About this figure

Norway publishes every taxpayer's income, net wealth and tax paid each year, and newspapers comb the lists for famous names. TV 2 printed Ryerson's figures for the 2024 income year. Net wealth on the list is the figure the Tax Administration assessed from his tax return, assets minus debts.

Tax values are lower than market values, especially for homes and shares, so the figure understates what Ryerson would be worth if everything were sold. We show it in Norwegian kroner, as published, with a rough US dollar conversion at the November 6, 2026 exchange rate. Income figures mentioned on this page are earnings for one year, not wealth.
