The problem in the Netherlands is that you'll get attacked by government workers (kids' school, "buurt teams" (social workers), local taxes, garbage collection, ...) if they know (or it's somehow too obvious) that you have money.
And I'm not talking $100 million. I'm talking $200k or so. Total assets ignoring debt maybe $2M. Nothing spectacular.
Especially if you do this in the "wrong neighborhood". But of course, if there's some reason you have money, you might have picked your residence based on where your company has to be, to be close to your workshop and able to easily drive to various customers, and not on being in the neighborhood with the "correct" social status. (I live in an immigrant neighborhood because of it's location. Richer neighborhoods are generally in the center of cities and not very drive-able but my work requires a car. Also I vastly prefer a big house over rich neighbours)
