Leo Østigård Net Worth

Leo Skiri Østigård is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Serie A club Genoa and the Norway national team. Born on 28 November 1999, he came through Molde, had a loan at Viking in 2018 and then moved to Brighton & Hove Albion.

Norway's official tax list for the 2024 income year records his net wealth at NOK 8.7 million, about $0.92 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 0.

What the tax list shows

TV 2's table for income year 2024 lists Østigård with income NOK 0 and net wealth NOK 8,689,847, registered in Italia. 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 zero, 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

From Brighton he went out on loan to St. Pauli, Coventry City (39 Championship appearances and two goals in 2020–21, helping the club stay up on its return to the second tier), Stoke City and then Genoa in January 2022, where he made his 100th club appearance. He joined Napoli permanently on 10 July 2022, scored on his Champions League debut in a 3–0 win over Rangers on 26 October 2022 and won Serie A in 2022–23. Rennes signed him on 30 July 2024 for €7 million; he later had a loan at Hoffenheim from February 2025.

On 29 July 2025 he returned to Genoa on loan with an option and a conditional obligation to buy, and Genoa made the move permanent on 31 January 2026. He made his senior Norway debut in a 2–0 friendly win over Slovakia on 25 March 2022, scored his first international goal against the Republic of Ireland on 17 November that year, and headed a goal in Norway's 4–1 win over Iraq in their opening match of 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 Østigård'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 Østigård 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.
