Hashim Djojohadikusumo is an Indonesian entrepreneur.
Hashim was born in Jakarta, Indonesia, on 5 June 1954. From a distinguished family, he is the youngest son of Prof. Dr. Soemitro Djojohadikusumo, the architect of the economic plan for the New Order, and Dora Sigar. Hashim's mother, Dora Maria Sigar, was a Protestant Christian of Minahasan descent, who originated from the Maengkom family in Langowan, North Sulawesi. His grandfather was one of the founders of Bank Negara Indonesia, Margono Djojohadikusumo. Hashim Djojohadikusumo is the younger brother of Prabowo Subianto.
Djojohadikusumo studied in Europe from primary school to high school, before continuing his higher education at Pomona College, Claremont University, where he majored in Political Science and Economics.
In the beginning, Hashim Djojohadikusumo interned in a French investment bank as a financial analyst. He then continued his path towards the business world in becoming the director of Indo Consulting. Due to his rising development in the industry and business aspect, he then took acquisition of PT. Semen Cibinong through his company, PT. Tirta Mas. After that, he started investing his shares in Bank Niaga and Bank Kredit Asia and became a conglomerate. The Asian Financial Crisis of 1998 led to Hashim’s stay in London for 9 years to be able to focus on his business. It was during that time his business progressed and spread. His successes led him back to Indonesia to save his brother’s business, Kiani Kertas, that was wrapped in a Rp. 1.9 Trillion debt with Bank Mandiri. Up to this day, Prabowo’s company is owned by Hashim.
After successfully saving Prabowo’s company, Hashim Djojohadikusumo also achieved control over the concession of forestry land, around 97 acres, in Central Aceh. The concession pushed him to expand his business to reach 3 million acres of plantations, forest concessions, coal mines, and oil & gas fields ranging from Aceh to Papua. According to Forbes 2012, Hashim Djojohadikusumo is one of Asia’s richest men with wealth reaching $850 million or Rp. 8.5 trillion. As of 2014, he is considered a billionaire.
