Almost all of the health leaders who have led our country through the pandemic earned more than one million crowns in fiscal year 2019.
On Tuesday morning, the tax lists were made public and several of the peaks of the pandemic in Norway are making a lot of money.
Steinar Madsen, medical director of the Norwegian Medicines Agency, tops the list of 2019 admissions among them. He has had a growing fortune since 2007 and is now listed at nine million crowns.
Line Vold, department director at the National Institute of Public Health (NIPH), has by far the highest wealth among them. He has more than 67 million crowns, which he has received through shares in the family business Drammensveien 50 C AS, according to Aftenposten. The shares were handed over to him by father Christian Vold (80), who owns the A shares. Therefore, he has little say in decisions related to the company.
– I am fortunate to have financial security, and I am also fortunate to have a good job and to feel rich in colleagues, friends and family, she told Aftenposten in November.
Here you can see the income, wealth and taxes for the peaks of the pandemic in 2019:
Bent Høie also served the country well last year, and had a salary of 1.2 million.
Preben Aavitsland, FHI’s chief physician, is the only one in this group to earn less than a million. It owns all the shares of the company Epidemi AS, which carries out research and development work in biotechnology. The company had a negative result in 2019, according to Proff.no.
Espen Nakstad earned almost two million crowns as deputy director of health in fiscal year 2019 and was up almost 200,000 from the previous year.
