Number of millionaires in Amsterdam grows to 37,200, number of wealthy people also rising nationwide
The number of millionaire households in the Netherlands increased by 81,000 to reach a total of 547,000 in early 2025, largely due to rising housing prices. Amsterdam specifically saw its count of millionaire households grow to 37,200, continuing an upward trend that has lasted over a decade.
As of early 2025, the number of millionaire households in the Netherlands surged to 547,000, marking an increase of 81,000 compared to the previous year. According to Statistics Netherlands, this growth is largely driven by rising residential property values, which are calculated as part of a household's total assets. Among these households, two-thirds possess assets between 1 and 2 million euros, while 3 percent hold 10 million euros or more. The capital accumulated by these households typically stems from business ownership and substantial shareholdings. Regional disparities remain notable, with the highest concentrations of wealthy residents found in Bloemendaal and Laren, and lower counts in regions like Limburg and Groningen.
In Amsterdam, the trend of increasing wealth has persisted for over eleven years. The number of millionaire households in the city rose from 30,700 in early 2024 to 37,200 in 2025. While modest population growth in the capital likely contributed slightly to this statistic, the broader economic trend reflects a steady rise in household net worth across the country.
