Indonesian billionaire wealth rankings

Overview

In early August 2026, Low Tuck Kwong, founder of Bayan Resources, was ranked as Indonesia’s wealthiest individual by Forbes, with an estimated net worth of US$16.7 billion. At that time, the nation's wealth was primarily driven by natural resources, though the emergence of data-centre executives indicated a shift toward digital infrastructure.

By mid-August 2026, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index reported a change in the top ranking, identifying Sukanto Tanoto as Indonesia’s wealthiest tycoon with a net worth of $24.0 billion. During this period, Prajogo Pangestu and Low Tuck Kwong remained among the country's top billionaires, though the index noted significant volatility in billionaire wealth due to fluctuations in stock prices.
