List of Swedish billionaires by net worth
This list ranks Swedish billionaires according to their estimated annual net worth and assets as reported by the American business publication Forbes. There are 45 individuals whose fortunes surpass $1 billion.
Methodology
The data collection by Forbes involves more than 50 journalists in 16 countries who gather information through interviews with the billionaires, their staff, legal advisors, and financial analysts to monitor transactions and asset holdings. The net worth calculations take into account ownership in both publicly traded and private enterprises, as well as yachts, artwork, and real estate. Publicly held shares are valued at market prices approximately one month before the list’s release date (for example, March 11, 2022, for the 2022 edition). Private company valuations rely on price-to-sales or price-to-earnings multiples. Known liabilities are subtracted to determine final net worth figures expressed in US dollars. Because of stock market volatility, actual wealth may differ at the time of publication.
Forbes does not include inherited family fortunes spanning multiple generations but may combine spouses or siblings if ownership is indistinct. Each billionaire must individually have a net worth exceeding $1 billion. Wealth linked to living individuals can also encompass assets owned by their immediate family members. Members of royal families and authoritarian rulers whose wealth depends on their official positions are excluded from the ranking.
