Carice van Houten finds it very strange that the Party has delved into the assets of the company that she runs together with Halina Reijn. “An equity of 5,500 euros?!”
Almost all gossip magazines have a section highlighting the assets of famous Dutch people. This could, for example, concern their real estate, but also their companies. Carice van Houten and Halina Reijn have a ghost company together, with which they made the Red Light series a few years ago, but then died off.
Carice and goat
Carice and Halina talk about it mockingly in their podcast Podimo. “Man Up is our company. We have a thriving company with 35 employees, hahaha,” Carice jokes.
Halina: “35 cows and a fence around it.”
Carice: “We have 35 employees working under us.”
Halina: “And a goat.”
Carice: “No, we are bosses together. Unfortunately, we still have no employees working under us. Haha.”
Notepaper
It’s a nothing business. Halina jokes: “No, no one wants to work for us.”
Carice: “We always started with the idea of stationery and nice pens with Man Up on it, but that never worked out. We wanted to emancipate and we wanted to start our own company.”
So the company is at a standstill and the Party delved into that. “I was recently reading…Someone sent me a little anecdote. A message from the Party. How much money was in our Man Up account.”
‘I’m serious’
Halina finds that really strange. “What?”
Carice: “I mean that seriously.”
Halina: “Wait a minute, so that was in the Party magazine? And how much was in it?”
Carice: “5,500 euros.”
Halina: “That’s not much.”
Carice: “No.”
Journalists
Halina finds it very strange that the magazines find it interesting to scrutinize their assets. “And how did they think they found out?”
Carice: “I don’t know. They are of course the best journalists in the Netherlands.”
Halina: “That is a piece of investigative journalism.”
According to the Party, Carice is worth a total of around 6 million euros. “That makes her financially independent and so she can continue to work for the climate with peace of mind and without financial damage.”
