What the tax list shows

TV 2's table for income year 2024 lists Sjåstad Christiansen with income NOK 1,962,801 and net wealth NOK 6,788,449, registered in Hol. The list figures come straight from the Norwegian Tax Administration, which publishes every taxpayer's income, wealth and tax each year.

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

His younger sister Tiril Sjåstad Christiansen is a successful freestyle skier. His idol growing up was Ole Einar Bjørndalen, and he entered the Norwegian College of Elite Sport in Geilo in 2008. At the 2011 Junior/Youth World Championships he took two silvers and a bronze, and in January 2012 he won gold in the sprint at the Junior European Championships.

He made his World Cup debut on 1 December 2012 and was selected to the elite team in April 2013 alongside Bjørndalen. Illness caused a stagnation in 2014-15 and he left the national team ahead of 2015-16 to join a private team, Team Norgesbakeriet. He later returned to the top level, and was part of Norway's winning relay at the 2022 Olympics. Wikipedia counts seven individual World Cup victories.

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 Sjåstad Christiansen'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 Sjåstad Christiansen 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.
