Mabel van Oranje-Nassau, a shareholder of Adyen, and Carol B. Tomé, CEO of UPS, experienced contrasting fortunes this week, according to an assessment by economics editors highlighting notable successes and setbacks in the business world.

Adyen’s stock price surged by 10 percent after the fintech company presented better-than-expected financial figures, significantly increasing the wealth of its shareholders. Mabel van Oranje-Nassau, whose stake in Adyen was acquired in the company’s early years by the late Prince Friso, saw her assets rise by 26.4 percent to 575 million euros, elevating her to 96th place on the list of the richest Dutch people. Co-founder and CEO of Adyen, Pieter van der Does, also experienced a substantial increase in his assets, reaching 1.7 billion euros.

Conversely, UPS also saw a 10 percent price jump this week, but it was triggered by the company’s announcement of 34,000 job cuts this year. This move, which exceeded the initial target, resulted in cost savings of over 2 billion dollars and a quarterly profit of 1.8 billion dollars, pleasing shareholders.

Despite the financial gains, UPS faces criticism regarding its delivery service in the Netherlands. Research from the Consumers’ Association reveals that a significant portion of respondents experienced delivery problems in the past six months. UPS was identified as the most problematic delivery service, with 49 percent of panel members reporting issues, including false notifications of recipients not being home and packages being left in unsafe locations.
