Iwert Dijkema (born 1985) is a Dutch entrepreneur and the founder and owner of Advidi, an affiliate marketing network specializing in iGaming, dating, health, and beauty. He became a millionaire at age 19 and started his first business venture with Mike Schwalbach, a dating site that failed after two years.
The lessons from that failure led to the creation of Advidi. The company grew 449% in its first year and has since paid over $100 million to partner affiliates. Dijkema also owns other ventures including Bidmath, Dutchyard, Coutured, and VIVEH.
Dijkema made his debut on the Dutch Quote 500 list in 2019, with an estimated personal fortune including €5 million in cash and 80% ownership of Advidi, which recorded €15 million in profit that year. He describes himself as a “game nerd” and “spiritual entrepreneur.” He holds real estate in Amsterdam, Cape Town, and Portugal, and owns luxury villa Clifton Gardens in Cape Town.
