Sorry for a clickbait title, I have no answer because of paywall.
Any Swedes here with Expressen subscription?

The second article says Ghost's Tobias Forge earned $837,000 in 2017.
It was a pretty terrible layout of the search function. But some persons of interest:
Ali Payami - 6 039 500 SEK
Shellback - 6 023 000 SEK
Linus Eklöw - 6 628 100 SEK
Tobias Forge - 7 979 300 SEK
No Mattman or Robin, no Tove Lo etc.
I can hardly believe it's all their income (royalties, production fees). Look at Shellback's catalogue, it's not possible it brings him only a bit more than 0,5 million euros a year. Maybe they have a company registered in US, pay their taxes there, therefore it's not listed on that Swedish website.
Shellbacks company (Shellback Industries AB) made an 85 000 000 SEK profit in 2017 so I guess the numbers in the newspaper is only what he actually withdrew that year.
Max Martin in 2018 — 541 mil kronor, 357 in 2017
