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. Josi 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 Josi against other athletes on this site, and we never show a single made-up figure.
