With more than 500 estates (on a surface area of about 7km² in total) Marggraff was probably one of the richest men of [[Noord-Brabant]], one of the Dutch provinces. His fortune was estimated in 1998 at 18 million euros (excluding his fortune outside the Netherlands).

Marggraff's land is now owned by the ''Marggraff Stichting'' (a non-profit organization) and is open for public (except for Zionsburg, which is planned to be rebuilt in 2006).

ionsburg is planned to be rebuild. The company Six Architects had obtained a building permit from the community of Vught. It is not certain when building will start.Maybe the police will re-open the case, there's little money left on his accounts in the Netehrlands and in other country's.........
