Nino Niederreiter Net Worth

Nino Niederreiter is a Swiss professional ice hockey player who is a winger for the Winnipeg Jets of the NHL. Born on September 8, 1992, he was selected fifth overall by the New York Islanders in 2010, the highest-drafted Swiss player in NHL history at the time.

Bilanz, the Swiss business magazine, put his fortune at CHF 20–50 million in its 2026 ranking of the 100 richest people in Switzerland under 40, published on April 28, 2026. That is about $24 million to $61 million at the November 6, 2026 exchange rate. Bilanz prints fortunes as ranges, not single numbers, so we show the range exactly as published.

How the estimate works

Bilanz publishes a yearly list of the 100 richest young people in Switzerland, mixing entrepreneurs, heirs and a handful of stars. Niederreiter is one of the sportspeople on the 2026 list, with an estimated fortune of CHF 20–50 million. The magazine's own research and estimates, not tax records or official filings, are behind the number.

The ranking counts people who hold a Swiss passport or live in Switzerland, even if they play abroad, and fortunes are shown in Swiss francs in bands such as 10 to 20 million or 20 to 50 million. We use the low end of the band only to sort Niederreiter against other athletes on this site, and we never show a single made-up figure.

Career at a glance

Unlike many Swiss players, Niederreiter chose North American junior hockey to improve his shot at the NHL. Following his friend Luca Sbisa, he went through the CHL Import Draft and was taken by the Portland Winterhawks, leading the team with 36 goals in his rookie season.

He was picked for the CHL Top Prospects Game in January 2010, scored on a trick shot in the skills competition and opened the scoring in the game itself. The NHL Central Scouting Bureau ranked him 12th among North American skaters, and the Islanders chose him fifth overall.

After difficulty getting playing time on Long Island he requested a trade and was dealt to the Minnesota Wild, where he spent parts of five seasons. He then went to the Carolina Hurricanes, signed with the Nashville Predators and was traded to the Jets after part of a season.
