  "account": "Finland's annual tradition of revealing the highest earners continued on Thursday, as the Tax Administration released a list of tax details for those earning over 120,000 euros in taxable income. For the fourth consecutive year, Mikko \"Miki\" Kuusi, a 37-year-old co-founder of the delivery giant Wolt, topped the list as the highest earner and number one taxpayer. Kuusi now leads the British delivery firm Deliveroo. The top three earners in 2025 were identified as Kuusi, Marianne Vikkula, and Sanna Marin.\n\nLast year, 42,854 Finnish individuals earned more than 150,000 euros annually. This figure rose by nearly 4,000 people compared to the previous year, according to data from the Finnish Tax Administration. Among top-earning women, Marianne Vikkula claimed the highest income, with 15.2 million euros in earnings. Vikkula ranked as Finland's 17th highest earner overall.\n\nFormer Prime Minister Sanna Marin earned a total of 1.2 million euros in the past year. The publication of these tax data by the public broadcaster Yle News is explained in an article about last year's top earners.",
