Who are Norway's top earners?

Norway's former fisheries minister Lisbeth Berg-Hansen is good for NOK 30 million (€3.7 million/$5.1 million). Her cabinet minister salary was considerably inflated through her shareholding in the aquaculture company SinkaBerg. Her income last year totaled NOK 3 million (€370,058/$506,559).

Solveig Strand, a fisheries company owner has NOK 21 million (€2.6 million/$3.5 million) in current personal assets and NOK 4.6 million (€567,422/$776,724) in income.

Another woman who does not appear on this list is fish producer Aino Olaisen. Two years ago she was declared Name of the Year by the Norwegian fisheries industry, and is engaged in salmon farming on a grand scale at Lovund.
