6.Dik Wessels – $2.3 billion
Whoever said that the construction industry didn’t produce great money anymore was a total liar!
Dik Wessels has a multi-billion dollar empire all thanks to the construction industry and he has a new worth of 2.3 billion dollars, being one of the richest people in the Netherlands. So yeah, lots of money still come from the construction industry, you just have to know how to make them!
But the most impressive thing about Dik Wessels is the fresh age he entered the business. If I tell how young he was when he started to coordinate an empire, you will instantly start to review your life. When he was only 22 years old he took over his father’s construction company, Wessels Groep!
And he continued to improve his empire over the years and turned Wessels Groep into one of the Netherlands’ most important conglomerates! It has over 15,000 employees and 120 active companies in more than four countries!
Now this is really impressive and motivating!
