AB-InBev’s family shareholders receive EUR 2.2 billion in dividends

Being the biggest is also best for shareholders, it seems. In the past three years alone, the Belgian family shareholders in brewer AB-InBev received dividends totalling EUR 2.2 billion (USD 2.5 billion), a report by the Belgian magazine Trends (16 September 2015) says. By comparison, the Heineken family received about EUR 950 million in dividends between 2000 and 2014, according to estimates by the UK’s Sunday Times and Dutch media.
