CEO
A self-made billionaire and nationalist strongman, Tanoesoedibjo (aka “Hary Tanoe” or “HT”) took his fixation with friend Donald Trump to a new level in 2019, buying the president’s Beverly Hills mansion for $13.5 million — after building two Indonesian hotels that Trump Org would run and hosting the 2013 Miss World, among other parallels.
