How many millionaires in the Netherlands?
In the Netherlands, 278 thousand households had assets of 1 million euros or more in 2020. This means that 3.5 percent of all households were millionaire households.
Household assets consist of property such as bank and savings deposits, shares, owner-occupied homes, business assets and substantial interest minus debts such as mortgage debt, study debts and other debts. In 2020, 64 percent of the millionaires had assets of between 1 and 2 million euros. Over 16 percent had assets of between 2 and 3 million euros. A small proportion of the millionaires, 3 percent, had assets of 10 million euros or more; this amounts to 8.1 thousand households.
In 2020, millionaire households had – on average – assets of nearly 2.8 million euros, compared to 139 thousand euros for non-millionaires. Consequently, the assets of millionaires are 20 times higher than those of non-millionaires.
In 2020, 45 percent of the assets of millionaires consisted of substantial interest and business assets; 21 percent consisted of the value of their own homes. For non-millionaires, the value of their own homes represented 75 percent of their assets while substantial interest and business assets made up 4.3 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.

Millionaires have relatively less debt than non-millionaires: on average, their assets total almost eight times their debt. In the case of non-millionaires, the assets total more than twice their debts. Eighty-nine 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 between 2014 and 2020. This was also the case between 2006 and 2008, although the number of millionaires subsequently declined almost every year until 2014, partly as a result of falling house and stock market prices. As of 2014, the number of millionaires rose again. In 2015, it was back above the level of 2008. However, one million euros in 2020 has a different value than in 2008. If the general price trend is taken into account, there were slightly more millionaires in 2018 than in 2008.

Noord-Holland is home to the relatively largest number of millionaire households (4.6 percent). This is also the location of the two municipalities with the highest proportion of millionaires: Bloemendaal (27 percent) and Laren (24 percent). Noord-Holland is followed by Utrecht and Zeeland. At the bottom of the list are Groningen, Flevoland and Limburg, with around 2 percent of households being millionaire households. The relatively fewest millionaires live in the Limburg municipalities of Kerkrade, Brunssum, Landgraaf and Heerlen, just as in the municipality of Nissewaard in Zuid-Holland.
