Hendrik van Riemsdijk was born into an aristocratic Dutch family. During his early adulthood, he was a keen sportsman, taking part not only in tennis tournaments, but also playing football with the Royal Haarlemsche Football Club (Koninklikje HFC). He met his future wife, Jetty Sandberg-Philips, through tennis; they married each other in the USA in 1938. Jetty was the daughter of Anton Philips, of the famous Philips electronics company. Henrik van Riemsdijk would spend most of his life working for Philips, becoming a member of the board of directors in 1963 and chairman of the board in 1971, a position he held until 1977.
