20 Years of Young Self-Made Millionaires
What does it really take to build a thriving business? Hard work, yes — but that’s never the whole story. In this documentary, Paul van Riessen, Laurens Hulshof and Eelke Oosterkamp follow four entrepreneurs who share their journeys: the highs, the setbacks, and the decisive moments that shaped their success.

From Fokke de Jong (Suitsupply) taking his brand global, to Sharon Hilgers (My Jewellery) leaving teaching behind, Leon Planken (Sweex, Charlie Temple) navigating both growth and bankruptcy, and Stef van Vugt (Fruits Music) streaming more plays than global superstars — their stories reveal what lies beyond “just working hard.”
