It just depends on how you use the numbers. The left wing will claim the rich pay 1% tax, the right wing will claim the rich pay 100%+ tax with the exact same numbers.
Usually the left include valuation changes as taxable income while the right uses the total tax, including wealth tax, and compare it to their personal income. IMO, both ways are wrong and dishonest.
Guys! Stop bullying the poor billionaire! We’re all temporarily embarrassed billionaires also, so we’re all in the same boat as him!

Dodging question 🤣
This is an old interview, but what he’s saying is not implausible. The wealth tax increase of the AP/SP-government have done more harm than good.
For 2023 he had NOK 32 million in wealth; had an income of 3.1 million NOK; and paid 1.7 million in taxes. He’s not that rich. The average income of an average partner at the top 15 lawfirms is higher than that.
“I don’t care how much I earn” counter question should immediately have been “then why do you care how much you pay in taxes?”
This is comedy gold
Since this filmed in 2015, I guess he is talking about the tax in 2014, which was in fact 1900% of his income:
