The Netherlands’ richest families have seen their assets grow by 10% this year, according to the latest calculations by business magazine Quote. The annual Quote 500 rich list – including 15 billionaires – was unveiled last night. Quote calculates the top 500 have assets totalling €121,515 bn.

Among the 33 new entrants on the list is Angus Young, guitarist with rock band AC/DC. Born in Scotland, Young has lived in the Gelderland town of Aalten since the 1980s. Footballers Marc Overmars (€47 mln) and Dennis Bergkamp (€60 mln) and tv show maker Reinout Oerlemans (€60 mln) are new entrants as well.
