We recently compiled a list of the 12 Wealthiest People in Netherlands, and in this article we will look at the richest individual. According to a report by the European Union, the Netherlands reported slow economic growth in 2023, due to a decline in private consumption and exports. The Dutch economy is expected to reach a growth rate of 0.8% in 2024 and 1.5% in 2025 due to an increase in real wages, which are expected to have a positive effect on consumer and government spending. On the other hand, business investment in the Netherlands is expected to remain weak and sluggish due to declining business confidence and labor shortage. While the labor market is still slow, it seems to be easing as available vacancies are expected to surpass the number of unemployed people in the country. The unemployment rate is expected to reach 3.9% in 2024 and 4% in 2025. Wage growth, on the other hand, may reach 5.9% in 2024 and 3.8% by 2025. While the Dutch economy corrected itself in the first quarter of 2024, skilled labor shortage in tech and science will remain a primary concern for companies and employers. You can also take a look at the wealthiest people in South Korea.

Good morning. Amazon’s market cap exceeded $2 trillion for the first time on Wednesday, as its CFO is betting big on AI use—both for potential clients and internally. Amazon shares this year are up nearly 30%—and over the previous 12 months up almost 50%. Earlier in 2024, Alphabet’s market cap hit $2 trillion, but both firms still trail Microsoft, Apple, and Nvidia, all of which are worth more than $3 trillion. (Bank of America just raised its price target for Amazon shares to $220 from $210.)
