I don’t think that the Netherlands is the country where wealth is routinely stolen from common folk.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_wealth_in... Take a look at this list and see which country has the highest wealth inequality in the world. Hint: it's the Netherlands.
Pretty low on the income inequality though, isn’t it?
Wow.
Netherlands is one of the largest channels between the EU and offshore tax havens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Sandwich
Depends how you obtained that wealth.

The people love personal success stories, but dislike people who show off too much or exploited certain situations.

There is this guy that made quite some money on covid masks. A lot of people were not too happy he made a profit on that.

People aren't happy about that because he told everyone he was doing it for free. That he wasn't making a profit on the deal. Also, he used inside info to sell his trash quality face masks.

Fuck Sywert van Lienden, disgusting crisis profiteer.

The economy of every capitalist country is based on the exploitation of the working class.
