Matti Olavi Mustonen Tops Pirkanmaa Income List with Nearly €29m, Mostly Capital Income

Matti Olavi Mustonen topped Pirkanmaa's incomes for the 2025 tax year, reporting just over €29 million, nearly all from capital income. By contrast, his earned income was €137,834. Other high earners included businessman and investor Risto Solja, linked to the Kiilto family, who exceeded €20 million, and Framery CEO Samu Hällfors, whose figures were close to Solja's. The list underlines how capital income dominates the region's top taxable incomes. It follows the publication of the 2025 tax records and a searchable tool earlier this week that listed residents earning more than €120,000, according to Tamperelainen.

The YLE article adds specific ranking details and figures not present in the Tamperelainen candidate: it names Mustonen’s income as “more than €29.1 million” and identifies the region’s second-highest earner as Risto Antti Ilmari Solja with about “€24.6 million” (all capital income), noting he was ranked 382nd in Pirkanmaa last year. It also gives exact/approximate amounts for additional named individuals (Framery CEO Samu Valtteri Hällfors at €19.6 million; Vincit founder/chair Mikko Antti Mikael Kuitunen at more than €6.4 million; Kai-Antti Hintz at just under €5.8 million) and adds that Hintz is known as the father of hockey player Roope Hintz. Further, YLE includes details about the list’s highest-ranking woman (Riia Katariina Naatula, ninth place, nearly €3.7 million in capital income with no taxable earned income) and explains that YLE’s tax tool uses nationwide data for those with combined earned and capital income above €150,000, emphasizing the figures record income (not wealth) and may not reflect deductions or tax-free portions.
