Netherlands had 547,000 millionaire households in 2025, CBS reports
Statistics Netherlands says the count rose by 81,000 households in 2025, driven mainly by rising home prices.
About 547,000 households — 6.6 percent of all households in the Netherlands — held assets worth at least €1 million in 2025, Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reported. The number rose by 81,000 households compared with the previous year, a change the agency attributes mainly to higher residential property prices.
Wealth structure and age profile
The typical millionaire household had assets of €1.5 million. Two thirds of millionaire households had wealth between €1 million and €2 million, and one quarter held between €2 million and €5 million. A smaller share, 3 percent, owned assets of €10 million or more.
CBS says 39 percent of millionaires' wealth consisted of significant business stakes and business assets — defined as owning at least 5 percent of a company's shares or equivalent business holdings — compared with 3 percent among non-millionaires. The value of owner-occupied homes accounted for 29 percent of wealthy households' assets.
Millionaires were on average 61 years old in 2025. Slightly under 3 percent were younger than 35, while almost 70 percent were aged 55 or older.
The report also highlights geographic concentrations: in the towns of Bloemendaal and Laren nearly two in five households were millionaires.
CBS’s figures reflect the stock of assets recorded for 2025 and show how movements in the housing market continue to shape the composition and number of wealthy households in the Netherlands.
