How to read this: the headline is the net wealth (nettoformue) recorded for Tarjei Bø 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 6, 2026, not a separate estimate.

Tarjei Bø is a retired Norwegian biathlete and the older brother of Johannes Thingnes Bø. He won Olympic relay gold at Vancouver 2010, took the overall World Cup crystal globe in 2010-11 and collected world championship titles over a career that ran from 2009 to 2025.

What the tax list shows

TV 2's table for income year 2024 lists Tarjei Bø with income NOK 1,634,443 and net wealth NOK 22,163,636, registered in Oslo. 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.

Career at a glance

Bø won junior world gold in 2006 and swept four golds at the 2009 European Championships before his World Cup debut in Khanty-Mansiysk in March 2009. A year later he was an Olympic champion in the relay.

His 2010-11 season brought his first World Cup wins and the overall globe, five points ahead of teammate Emil Hegle Svendsen. He went on to win further Olympic and world titles, often racing alongside his brother, before retiring in 2025.

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 Tarjei Bø'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 Tarjei Bø 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.
