You are most likely to run into a Dutch millionaire in the village of Laren near Hilversum, where 10.8% of households have assets of over €1m, the national statistics agency CBS said on Tuesday.

Next on the list is Bloemendaal with 10.4% and Blaricum where 9.8% of households are worth more than €1m, the CBS said.

In total, the Netherlands had some 115,000 households with assets of over €1m in January 2017, or 1.5% of the total. The figures do not include the millionaires’ own home or mortgage debts.

Dutch millionaire households had disposable income averaging at €117,000 last year, compared with €40,000 for the average household.

Amsterdam has more millionaires than any other city, with 6,400, followed by The Hague, Rotterdam and Utrecht. Almost half the country’s millionaires make their money via their own companies.
