What the tax list shows

TV 2's table for income year 2024 lists Linnes with income NOK 2,110,660 and net wealth NOK 37,766,937, registered in Molde. 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.

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 Linnes'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 Linnes 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.
