How to read this: the headline is the net wealth (nettoformue) recorded for Fredrik Aursnes on Norway’s official tax list for the 2024 income year, as printed by a national newspaper. It is what the Norwegian Tax Administration assessed from the tax return: assets minus debts, at tax values. Homes are counted at a fraction of their market price and shares at a discount, and money held in a personal holding company shows up only through the value of its shares, so the real figure is usually higher. This is an official tax figure, not a journalist’s estimate, and we show it as published. The figure was published in NOK; the US dollar amount next to it is our simple conversion at the European Central Bank reference rate of November 5, 2026, not a separate estimate.

Fredrik Aursnes is a Norwegian professional footballer who captains Primeira Liga club Benfica and plays for the Norway national team. Born in Hareid and raised through the Molde system, he can play central midfield or full-back. After winning the Tippeligaen with Molde he moved to Feyenoord in 2021 and then to Benfica in August 2022, where he became a first-team regular and later captain.

Norway's official tax list for the 2024 income year records his net wealth at NOK 17.5 million, about $1.9 million at the November 5, 2026 exchange rate. The same list shows taxable income of about NOK 49.5 million, which TV 2 reported as the highest among Norwegian sports figures that year.

What the tax list shows

VG's Molde table for income year 2024 lists Aursnes second overall in the municipality: income NOK 49,460,258, net wealth NOK 17,518,672 and tax paid about NOK 3.3 million. TV 2's national sports roundup put him at the top of the income ranking among Norwegian athletes and coaches.

Because he is paid in Portugal, the Norwegian income figure still reflects remittances and Norwegian-taxable pay. Net wealth on the list is assessed at tax values, so homes and shares are counted below market price.

Career at a glance

Aursnes came through Molde FK, made his senior debut as a teenager and helped the club win the 2011-12 and 2014 league titles before establishing himself as a box-to-box midfielder. Feyenoord signed him in 2021; a year later Benfica paid a reported mid-teens million-euro fee for him.

At Benfica he has played both midfield and right-back, reached the Champions League quarter-finals and was named club captain. He is a regular for Norway under Ståle Solbakken.

About this figure

Norway publishes every taxpayer's income, net wealth and tax paid each year, and newspapers comb the lists for famous names. VG printed Aursnes'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 Aursnes would be worth if everything were sold. We show it in Norwegian kroner, as published, with a rough US dollar conversion at the November 5, 2026 exchange rate. Income figures mentioned on this page are earnings for one year, not wealth.
