Based on the family's controlling interest in Bank Central Asia (BCA), the total inheritance was valued at approximately KSh 1.51 trillion (US$11.7 billion) in mid-August, with the formally transferred shares alone worth at least KSh 378.7 billion (US$2.93 billion), Straits Times reported. Robert Budi Hartono's fortuneMichael and his brother Robert Budi Hartono constructed their commercial empire on the foundation of a tobacco business inherited from their father, which they expanded into a diversified group of companies. Their flagship asset, BCA, is Indonesia's largest bank by market capitalisation, valued at roughly KSh 5.69 trillion (US$44 billion). The brothers' combined net worth has been estimated at KSh 3.71 trillion (US$28.6 billion).
