How many millionaires in the Netherlands?

In the Netherlands, 223 thousand households had assets of 1 million euros or more in 2019. This means that 2.8 percent of all households were millionaire households.

Assets consist of property such as bank and savings deposits, shares, owner-occupied homes, and combined business assets minus debts such as mortgage debt, study debts and other debts. Two-thirds of the millionaires (151 thousand households) had assets of between 1 and 2 million euros. Around 16 percent of the millionaires had assets of between 2 and 3 million euros. More than 2 percent had assets of 10 million euros or more; this amounts to 4.8 thousand households.

In 2019, millionaire households had – on average – assets of more than 2.5 million euros, compared to 129 thousand euros for non-millionaires. Consequently, the assets of millionaires are on average 19 times higher than those of non-millionaires.

In 2019, 37 percent of the assets of millionaires consisted of substantial interest and business assets; 23 percent consisted of the value of their own homes. For non-millionaires, the value of their own homes represented 73 percent of their assets while substantial interest and business assets made up 3.4 percent. As the wealth of millionaire households increases, the relative share of substantial interest and business assets in their total assets rises and the share represented by their owner-occupied homes falls.

* provisional figures

Millionaires have relatively less debt than non-millionaires: on average, their assets total more than seven times their debt. In the case of non-millionaires, their assets total more than twice their debts. Ninety percent of the debts of non-millionaires comprise the mortgage debt on their own homes. This is slightly less than half for millionaires.

The number of millionaires grew steadily between 2014 and 2019. This was also the case between 2006 and 2008, though the number of millionaires subsequently declined almost every year until 2014, partly as a result of falling house and stock market prices. The number of millionaires in 2016 matched the level of 2008, and the number in 2019 was a third higher than in 2008. However, one million euros in 2019 had a different value than in 2008. If the general price trend is taken into account, there were proportionately fewer millionaires in 2018 than in 2008.

Noord-Holland is home to the relatively largest number of millionaire households (3.8 percent). This is also the location of the three municipalities with the highest proportion of millionaires: Bloemendaal (23 percent), Laren (21 percent) and Blaricum (18 percent). Noord-Holland is followed by Utrecht and Zeeland, where more than 3 percent of households are millionaire households. At the bottom of the list are Flevoland, Groningen and Limburg, with fewer than 2 percent of households being millionaire households. The relatively fewest millionaires live in the Limburg municipalities of Kerkrade, Brunssum and Landgraaf together with the municipalities of Den Helder and Nissewaard.
