Djoko Susanto, the boss of retail firm PT Sumber Alfaria Trijaya, better known as Alfamart, has rocketed onto the list of Indonesia’s new millionaires with total wealth exceeding that of tycoon Aburizal Bakrie, Forbes magazine revealed on Thursday.

Forbes listed Djoko at number 25 in the list with total wealth of US$ 1.04 billion (Rp 9.36 trillion). Bakrie’s wealth, meanwhile, amounted to $890 million, putting him 30th on the list.

Djoko’s rise in fortune has been phenomenal as in 2010 his name did not even make it onto the list of Indonesia’s 40-richest people.

Your comments:

This is not surprising anymore, remembering we can find an Alfamart anywhere. But the government must be concerned about this.

Do not let this kill the businesses of small people.

It goes without saying the owner of Alfamart can surpass Bakrie’s wealth on the list because Alfamart branches are everywhere. Even in my borough there are four branches not far away.
