What Eva Jinek did in Abcoude, Arjen Lubach now does in Soest: buying a million-dollar villa immediately after signing a lucrative RTL contract. “A mortgage of two million euros!”
Arjen Lubach seems to have no trouble with the image that his switch to RTL is purely for the money. Immediately after closing this lucrative deal, he went on a house hunt, just like Eva Jinek did at the time. After all, with a million contract in your pocket, it is easy to shop on the housing market. She went for Abcoude, he now for Soest.
2 million euros
KNOWNEBUREN, the authoritative website when it comes to BN’er-Vastgoed, has discovered That Arjen has bought a detached house in Soest next to his farmhouse in the Frisian Oudhorne. “Lubach paid 1,530,000 euros for the home, just below the asking price of 1.6 million euros.”
However, it is a very old thing with energy label B. “A mortgage of 1,975,000 euros was also established, probably for the planned renovations. Striking: this is a municipal monument, which can greatly increase the charm but also maintenance costs.”
Bag filler
Private boss Evert Santegoeds finds Arjen a real bag filler. “Arjen Lubach switched to RTL and then everyone was accused of filling his bag and we did that, because he never complained and he has dared the switch, and why would you do it differently than for the money?” He says in Shownieuws.
Arjen has thrown his credibility for some extra money. “He could just go his own way at the VPRO of course and make the program what he wanted. It has also become clear that he earns a lot. He suddenly bought a million villa in the Gooi. He has set one and a half million for that.”
No photos
Whereas Kennerburen shows the photos of Arjens Villa and also the name of the monument (which even has its own Wikipedia page), Shownieuws does not do that. “We are not allowed to show photos of it, because he was very much put on his privacy and the management insisted that we were allowed to bring the message, but were not allowed to show the photos.”
“It is striking, because he is of course a boy from the far north and he always proudly propagates that, and that such a person will live on the Gooise mattress is fairly striking. In addition to his farm in Friesland.”
Invest
Evert thinks that Arjen will throw tons against a renovation. “He is going to renovate quite a bit, because the mortgage is much higher than the purchase price of the house, so there will be a new bathroom and kitchen in any case.”
Colleague Eline de Ruig praises Arjen. “It’s smart. Investing in stone, they always say, right?”
And Tooske Ragas: “Yes, you have to do something with that money.”
