Where the money comes from
| Kapital estimate | NOK 600 million in the 2026 table of Norway's richest sports stars, sixth on the table Finansavisen / Kapital |
Casper Ruud is Norway's best tennis player ever. Coached from the start by his father, former professional Christian Ruud, he became the first Norwegian man to win an ATP title in 2020. In 2022 he reached the finals of the French Open and the US Open and rose to No. 2 in the world, and he played in the French Open final again in 2023. In 2025 he won his first Masters 1000 title in Madrid.
Kapital's 2026 table of Norway's richest sports stars puts his fortune at NOK 600 million, sixth among the athletes listed. That is about $64 million at the October 23, 2026 exchange rate.
How he made his money
Ruud has earned his money mainly through prize money. Reaching three Grand Slam finals and spending years in the world's top ten pays very well in modern tennis, where the biggest tournaments award millions of dollars to their finalists.
He adds income from racket, clothing and other sponsors, and from appearances at exhibitions. Prize money is income before tax, travel and coaching costs, so his fortune is much lower than his career earnings.
About this estimate
Kapital is the Norwegian business magazine behind the yearly list of Norway's 400 richest people. Alongside the 2026 list it published a table of the country's richest sports stars, with fortunes in millions of Norwegian kroner, reported by Finansavisen on September 16, 2026.
Ruud's NOK 600 million is Kapital's own rounded estimate. We show it in kroner, as published, with a rough dollar conversion.
Career at a glance
Ruud built his game on clay, where his heavy topspin forehand is most effective, and most of his titles have come on the surface. His 2022 season, with two Grand Slam finals and a place in the ATP Finals final, made him a household name in Norway.
He has also been a leading voice for Norwegian tennis, which had never before had a top-ten player.
