About Me

R. Budi Hartono and his brother, Michael (whose fortune is listed separately), are among the richest in Indonesia. They 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. In what was Indonesia's second-largest IPO of 2022, the brothers listed Global Digital Niaga, which owns e-commerce giant Blibli, raising $510 million. Family holdings also include prime real estate in Jakarta and popular electronics brand Polytron, which forayed into the EV business on its home turf in 2025 with the launch of two electric car models.
