Khalid Kasem, the figurehead of the left-progressive talk show Khalid & Sophie, is a multi-millionaire, according to the well-known gossip site BekendeBuren. “He is a true pawnbroker.”
Critics love it: the hypocrisy accusation. And Khalid Kasem of the socialist broadcaster BNNVARA will also receive this now that, according to the well-known gossip site Well-Known Neighbors of journalist Rob Vuurens turns out to be a multi-millionaire and pawnbroker. “He owns several million euros worth of properties…”
Eight buildings
Khalid is on the left in front of the stage and on the right when he counts his money, according to BekendeBuren. “In normal life it seems that Khalid, who previously had a law practice with Royce de Vries, is guilty of ‘talking on the left, filling on the right’,” can be read on the site.
Why? “BekendeBuren discovered that Khalid is doing well from a business perspective. He is the proud owner of a total of eight properties. One in Amstelveen and the rest in Amsterdam. He bought the last one in 2021 for a price of 650 thousand euros in Badhoevedorp.”
Mid-rental
Khalid has not bought anything since Minister Hugo de Jonge came up with his plans to regulate mid-priced rents. If those plans go ahead, landlords like Khalid can charge less rent for their rented real estate, and that may make it less interesting for him to invest in it any longer.
BekendeBuren: “He bought from 2010 to 2021 for a total of around 1.6 million euros. Naturally, the value of his real estate portfolio has increased in recent years and a conservative estimate would result in around 3 million euros, or a surplus value of around 1.4 million euros.”
Financing
Khalid has registered approximately 2.1 million euros in financing, but that does not mean that he has withdrawn this full amount, according to BekendeBuren. He may have only financed some of his rental properties.
All in all, Khalid’s wallet seems thicker than his socialist dictionary. “It is certain that Khalid Kasem is in good hands,” BekendeBuren concludes various photos of the properties it owns.
