Most of the rich still get richer

The worldwide fall in the value of shares has not yet really hit the richest men and women in the Netherlands, according to the latest list of the richest people in the Netherlands by Quote magazine.


Top of the list is the Brenninkmeijer family which owns the C&A clothes chain with a total fortune of €24.2bn. At number two is brewery heiress Charlène de Carvalho-Heineken with €4.1bn and in third place is the Van der Vorm family whose €3.8bn comes from the investment company HAL.
The combined assets of the 500 richest has increased by more than 6% to €145bn, the magazine says. But people whose money is tied up in one company, like De Carvalho-Heineken, have been hit, Quote says.
