Husein Djojonegoro, 67
ABC, Orang Tua Group
Consumer goods
$950 million (2015)
$1.1 billion (2016)
The Djojonegoro family has taken what is known as both the Orang Tua Group and the ABC Group to the top ranks of Indonesia’s consumer products companies.
With more than 40 food brands the operation competes head-to-head with Unilever Indonesia and the Mayora Group.
Husain has handed much of the day-to-day work to his children, with son Hamid playing a leading role. He raised Rp4.5 billion from nine of the family companies for the re-election campaign of Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama.
Purnama, or Ahok as he’s usually called, said Hamid had no issues with the donation being made public. Many cried foul, saying that represented illegal gratification.
The family has a wide network of relationships within the business community, and is especially close to the Riady family. Husain’s grandson Soeharto Djojonegoro married Caroline Riady in 2005 and another, Soebroto, married Stephanie Riady in 2012.
