Fiscal figures for 2019 will be released Tuesday morning. At the top of fortune there are several familiar faces.
In recent years, Kjell Inge Røkke has been at the top of the list. He has most of his equity in Aker, the publicly traded investment firm that has large ownership positions in other companies in the Aker system. This year, however, he is defeated by Salmar’s heir, Gustav Magnar Witzøe, who is listed with a fortune of 20.9 billion crowns.
He also paid 235 million crowns in taxes, mostly on the list.
Røkke is in second place with a fortune of NOK 19.4 billion.
Third is real estate investor Ivar Tollefsen with a fortune of NOK 9.2 billion.
It is followed by the founder of Rema 1000, Odd Reitan, with a fortune of just over six billion crowns.
In the next two places are Ferd’s heiresses Alexandra and Katharina Andresen, who fell off the list entirely last year. The two are listed with fortunes of NOK 5.9 billion each. Father Johan Andresen, for his part, finished in 17th place, with a fortune of 2.3 billion crowns.

Famous names
At the bottom of the list are several well-known names. Frederik W. Mohn, son of investor Trond Mohn, is listed with a fortune of just under five billion, making him the seventh richest person in the country last year. Thus, it also hits his father, who is listed with a fortune of 4.5 billion crowns. Trond Mohn also paid the second highest tax last year, after Salmar’s heir, Witzøe.
Otherwise, in the top ten are also Magnus and Ole Robert Reitan, son of Rema 1000 founder Odd Reitan. The two heirs are listed with fortunes of NOK 4.8 billion each.
The nestor Olav Thon hotel is worth NOK 2.3 billion, while Else Helene Sundt, daughter of owner Petter CG Sundt, is listed with a NOK 3.98 billion fortune.
Those under 35
On the list of young people under 35, the aforementioned Witzøe and Ferd’s two heirs are at the top.
Fourth on the “young list” is Michael S. Treschow, son of the late Mille Marie Treschow. He has run the family business Treschow-Fritzøe and Fritzøe Skoger MS Treschow since 2015, and is listed with a fortune of NOK 1.3 billion.
At the bottom of the list are several heirs, including the two Rasmussen brothers, who are sons of the owner Einar Rasmussen.
Additionally, several of Varner’s heirs can be found in the top 20, along with Petter Stordalen’s children.
Back to top list
Before the publication of the fiscal figures for 2019, DN had already mentioned that the assets of Salmar’s heir, Gustav Magnar Witzøe, and Ferd’s heirs, Alexandra and Katharina Andresen, would once again be valued at a normal level.
In 2018, attention was drawn to the fact that the 2017 tax figures showed that the tax assets of Salmar’s heir Gustav Magnar Witzøe had been reduced by almost NOK 10 billion with no significant changes to his actual assets.
A reorganization was the explanation for the reduction of the tax by NOK 84 million. The following year, Witzøe also received a significant discount on the valuation of his shares in Salmar, despite the fact that the fish company is publicly traded and therefore should normally be valued at the market price of the shares. In 2018, Salmar’s heir was not on the first list. He was later listed with a fortune of just over a billion kronor.
Ferd’s heiresses, Alexandra and Katharina Andresen, ranked third and fourth among the richest in Norway respectively in 2017, but fell completely off the top list in 2018. The Andresen family had also found the same opportunity to cut taxes. They had previously owned their shares of Ferd as private individuals, but in 2018 they established joint-stock companies where the property was located.
Smoking on top last year
In 2018, it was Røkke who topped the list, ahead of Frederik W. Mohn and Margaraet Boel Garmann.
Frederik Mohn is the son of investor Trond Mohn, who has made his fortune selling boat pumps, a business that was sold a few years ago.
Boel Garmann is among the owners of AWilhelmsen, the investment company of the Wilhelmsen family, which has built its fortune through the RCCL cruise line.(Terms)Copyright Dagens Næringsliv AS and / or our suppliers.
