Top 40 Richest Indonesians
FORBES ASIA’s kickoff list of the 40 richest Indonesians reveals the emerging nation’s biggest asset: its people. Indonesia is the fourth-most-populous country in the world, with 230 million folks who call its 17,500 islands home. As a result, more than half of Indonesia’s Rich Listers made their fortunes catering to the mass market. Billionaires Rachman Halim, R. Budi Hartono and Putera Sampoerna all rank in the top five and made their fortunes selling kreteks, the cigarettes that contain a combination of cloves and tobacco. Indonesia’s top real estate mogul, Trihatma Haliman, amassed $900 million selling apartments throughout Jakarta. Then there are the consumer goods that are household names in Indonesia: Wing Biru laundry detergent, sold by Eddy William Katuari’s Wings Group; Indomie instant noodles from Liem Sioe Liong’s Indofood; and Soegiharto Sosrodjojo’s Teh Botol Sosro tea, a top-selling bottled beverage.
