In 1988, he went to Japan to study. From 1989 to 1993, he studied Chinese and Japanese at Durham University in Britain. In 1990, he went to the People's University of China to study for a year. From 1993 to 2000, he worked as an accountant in the Arthur Andersen accounting firm (during 1997-1999 he worked in Shanghai, and in London, England for the rest of the time). In 1999, for personal interest, Hoogewerf set up an independent research house, which created the first China Rich List.

Today Hurun Report's flagships include the Hurun Rich List, expanded in 2007 to 800 Chinese individuals, the Hurun Philanthropy List, a ranking of the most generous Chinese individuals, the Hurun Best of the Best, the benchmark for luxury brands in China, and the Hurun Contemporary Art List, a list of the fifty most valuable Chinese artists today.

Hoogewerf was awarded the prestigious 'Person of the Year Award' in 2002 by Neweekly magazine, for his contribution to the understanding of private enterprise in China.
