The top 5 richest Dutch people

To be eligible for inclusion on the 2020 Quote 500 list, you have to have assets of at least 95 million euros (compared to 88 million in 2019). While John de Mol lost his fourth-place position, he remains the richest Dutch celebrity, with 2,4 billion euros to his name. Other celebrities on the list include Joop van den Ende (1,7 billion) and DJ Tiësto (170 million euros).

The five richest people in the Netherlands are as follows:

	Wealth (euros)	Rise/fall vs 2019	Company

2. Frits Goldschmeding	4,1 billion	-6,8 percent	Randstad
3. Gérita and Inge Wessels	3,8 billion	+5,6 percent	VolkerWessels
4. Karel van Eerd	2,5 billion	+8,7 percent	Jumbo
5. Arnout Schuijff	2,5 billion	+92,3 percent	Adyen

Notably, the magazine notices a growing gap between the wealth of those working in the trade, transport or production industries compared to those in the tech industry. Three of 2020’s new billionaires were shareholders in payment company Adyen.
