The world’s billionaires and which Indonesians are among them. Indonesian citizens who made it onto the Forbes’ “The World’s Billionaires” list, out of a total of 1125 people in the worldwide.
Sukanto Tanoto (aged 58), originally from Medan in North Sumatra, and owner of the holding company PT Raja Garuda Mas International (RGM International), leads the Indonesian rankings. Now, he lives in Singapore with net worth US$ 3.8 billion.
Second position is Michael Hartono (aged 68) with net worth of US$2.0 billion, lives in Indonesia and the third posisition is R. Budi Hartono (aged 67) with net worth US$2.0 billion (owner of Djarum and BCA), lives in Indonesia. Fourth posisition is Martua Sitorus (aged 48) with net worth US$1.9 billion (owner of Wilmar International), lives in Singapore and the fifth position is Peter Sondakh (aged 56) with net worth US$1.2 billion (owner of Rajawali Group), lives in Indonesia (www.indonesiamatters.com).
Aburizal Bakrie (owner of Bakrie Group), who only three months ago was named by Forbes Asia as Indonesia’s richest man, inexplicably didn’t make the cut for this list, and nor did Eka Tjipta Widjaja (owner of Sinar Mas Group), and Putera Sampoerna (owner of Sampoerna Strategic).
