It used to be a country of fishermen struggling through the Arctic winter but now Norway has turned itself into a land of dollar millionaires, with more per capita than any other country in the world.
One in 86 Norwegians now count their net worth in seven figures, according to a report by Merrill Lynch and consulting firm Capgemini. In a country of just 4.7 million people that means close to 55,000 people are now enjoying the high life.
This new-found wealth is in stark contrast to the nation's long tradition of social equality, where until recently it was frowned upon to be different - and richer - than your neighbour.
A flourishing economy, driven by oil and gas, and rocketing share and house prices are behind the increase.
But Norway is expensive. Oslo, where a pint of beer costs £5, is the world's most expensive capital according to the Economist. Dinner for two in an average restaurant can easily cost £200.
Norway's millionaires make up only a fraction of the worldwide total. The report said there are now 9.5 million people worldwide who have net assets (not including primary residences) of more than $1m (£493,000). This group, 0.14% of the world's population, owns around one-quarter of global wealth.
