R. Budi Hartono

R. Budi Hartono and his brother, Michael (whose fortune is listed separately), are the two richest people in Indonesia.

The brothers get the bulk of their fortune from their investment in Bank Central Asia.

The Hartonos bought a stake in BCA, after another wealthy family, the Salims, lost control of the bank during the 1997-1998 Asian economic crisis.

The family first got rich in tobacco and is still one of the biggest clove cigarette makers in the nation.

With his brother, he also owns popular electronics brand Polytron, prime real estate in Jakarta and a stake in gaming startup Razer.
