The report estimates that the number of people in Indonesia with a net worth of at least US$ 30 million (approximately IDR 490 billion) will increase by 82% between 2026 and 2031.
While the number was estimated at 3,833 in 2026, it is expected to rise to approximately 6,966 in 2031.
This very strong growth reflects Indonesia’s increasingly strong economic potential. Several factors play a significant role, ranging from the expansion of various business sectors, the rapid development of digital technology, increased investment activity, and the appreciation of various assets such as real estate, stocks, and corporate property.

Moreover, the growing number of ultra-wealthy individuals demonstrates that Indonesia is becoming increasingly attractive as an investment destination and offers significant potential for producing more successful entrepreneurs and investors.
However, the challenge of ensuring a fair distribution of wealth remains a key focus, so that wealth growth can have a positive impact on the broader economy.
With these prospects, Indonesia is seen as a country that will further strengthen its position as one of the largest economic powers in Asia in the coming years. ***tok
