Most working millionaires in the Netherlands are farmers. Statistics Netherlands states that 19% of millionaires are employed in agriculture and have more than €1 million in equity. They do not have this capital in their account, but is for the most part in land and other real estate.
On January 1, 2015, there were more than 20.000 farmers in the Netherlands who own more than €1 million in assets. That is 19% of the total number of millionaires in the Netherlands. This means that agriculture has a relatively large number of millionaires. This is because the agricultural sector has a relatively large number of independent entrepreneurs, who have a large part of their assets in the company.
Dairy farmers are the most wealthy
Most farmer millionaires are dairy farmers, namely 9%. In arable farming and horticulture, 5% of entrepreneurs have more than €1 million in assets.
Other sectors where many millionaires can be found are financial services (16%), trade (14%), specialist business services (14%) and health and welfare (7%). The other industries account for 30%.
