Stjernespilleren klatrer på listen over Norges 400 rikeste.

Kapital: 4,3 milliarder i formue

According to Kapital, the 26-year-old striker is now the 123rd wealthiest person in Norway, with an estimated fortune of 4.3 billion kroner. Haaland reached this position just three years after making his debut on the magazine's list of Norway's 400 richest people, when his net worth was estimated at 1.8 billion kroner. Kapital calculated that the 2.5 billion kroner increase over three years translates to a net worth growth of 17.5 million kroner per month, with Haaland scoring 143 goals during this period.

The Norwegian striker has surpassed most Norwegian sports stars in terms of wealth and earnings. Manchester City's star is trailing behind Arsenal and national team captain Martin Ødegaard (382nd place).

Economy professor Ola Honningsdal Grytten from Norges Handelshøyskole (NHH) compares Haaland to Bjørn Dæhlie, a Norwegian sports legend who earned money from sports equipment after retiring. The economist praises Haaland's financial success, saying it's comparable to a Narvesen kiosk next to Haaland. E24 recently reported on how Haaland and his father, Alfie Haaland, received help from financier Jan Petter Thomassen with their holdings companies in Luxembourg.

Thomassen, known for helping super-rich clients, now manages around 5 billion kroner of assets for them. Haaland's total annual earnings are estimated at around 800 million kroner, coming from his Manchester City contract (about 350 million), a Nike sponsorship deal (about 250 million), and other sponsorship deals, bonuses, and social media earnings.
