Timo Meier is a Swiss professional ice hockey player who is a winger for the New Jersey Devils of the NHL. Born in Herisau on October 8, 1996, he was selected ninth overall by the San Jose Sharks in 2015 and was traded to New Jersey in 2023.

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

Career at a glance

Meier grew up in Herisau and at 15 accepted an apprenticeship with the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers, where he learned from David Aebischer and Jason Spezza. After the 2012–13 season with the club's U17 team, the Halifax Mooseheads selected him 12th overall in the 2013 CHL Import Draft.

He spent three seasons in Halifax before a trade to the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies, winning the Mike Bossy Trophy as the QMJHL's best professional prospect. San Jose picked him ninth overall in 2015, and after an illness delayed his debut he played his first NHL game on December 16, 2016.

On January 17, 2022 he became the first player in Sharks history to score five goals in a game. After seven seasons in San Jose he was traded to the New Jersey Devils in 2023. With Switzerland he has played at two World Championships and won a silver medal in 2018.
