October 29, 2026 article from L1 Nieuws. By Maan Geraats, © L1 (Graatje Weber), translation by Diana D. Le André Rieu Adds to His Savings with Another Profit in the Millions André Rieu had another financially successful year last year. All told, the concert promoter posted a profit of over 18 million euros in 2025. This is evident from the annual financial statements that Rieu filed with the Commercial Register. The profit is virtually the same as in previous years. In 2023 and 2024, he also had over 18 million euros in profit. More Concerts Rieu has chosen to reinvest all of his profits back into the company. The 18 million euros has been added to his reserves, bringing his equity to over 73 million euros. Not only has his net worth grown, but so has the number of concerts the Maastricht native has scheduled. In 2025, he gave 79 concerts; by the end of last year, Rieu had committed to 82 concerts in 2026. That number may have increased further over the course of the year. Outside the Netherlands These concerts are by far Rieu’s largest source of revenue. He earned more than 60 million euros from ticket sales, a quarter of which came from within the Netherlands. Just under 42 million euros in revenue was generated in other European Union countries, and a small portion was earned outside the continent. In addition to ticket sales, Rieu earned about 4 million euros from royalties, merchandising, and “other revenue.” The company employs an average of 83 people. The vast majority of them are members of the 60-piece orchestra.

Sharing a November 8, 2026 article from Quotenet.nl. (Quote 500) By Tim Jansen, photos by Francesco Prandoni, translated by Diana D. Le André Rieu Rakes in a Huge Profit The curly-haired violinist and orchestra conductor may be well into his seventies, but Rieu continues to go full steam ahead. All across Europe, people are happy to open their wallets for a ticket to see Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra. As a result, the cash register keeps ringing melodiously. Is 77-year-old André Rieu already thinking about retirement? “I’ll never retire. Why would I? I have a wonderful life,” the Limburg native recently stated in an interview with Ouder en Wijzer. That’s no lie. After all, his concert schedule is packed with performances through January 2028. From the Ziggo Dome to Cluj, Romania. And from Bahrain to Chemnitz. Wonderful, because Rieu could be sitting comfortably at home, listening to a piece by his favorite composer, Strauss. The fact that Rieu is one of the Netherlands’ biggest musical exports is clear from the latest annual financial statements. The parent company of Rieu’s empire reported revenue of €82 million, several hundred thousand higher than the previous year. Of this amount, nearly €72 million came from concert proceeds. In addition, Rieu earned over €9 million from royalties and licensing fees. Caps, T-shirts, and other merchandise brought in another half a million. A Substantial Dividend Of course, the 61 orchestra members, the five-person administrative staff, and the 38-support staff must also be paid fairly. The stage, gas, and printer aren’t free either. Yet, after deducting all expenses and the tax payment, there remains a substantial profit of €21.9 million. This financial success means that €15 million can be easily distributed to shareholders, on top of the €13 million in dividends that were already pocketed last year. With equity of €64 million on a balance sheet total of nearly €92 million, Rieu’s company is in excellent financial health. Hats off to the King of the Waltz, who simply kept going strong after a bankruptcy in 2008.
