Defining Wealth and Indonesian Millionaires
📌 According to The Wolf Report 2022, wealthy individuals in Indonesia possess assets exceeding $1 million USD (approximately 15 billion Rupiah).
📈 As of late 2021, 82,000 people (0.03% of the Indonesian population) fit this "wealthy" category.
💰 "Crazy Rich" status is defined by assets over $30 million USD (450 billion Rupiah), a group comprising about 1,800 individuals.

Asset Composition of Indonesian Tycoons
🔎 The assets of Indonesia's top richest individuals (e.g., Budi and Michael Hartono) are heavily concentrated in BCA and BBCA shares.
📊 Pak Sri Prakash's wealth is split between publicly traded shares and private companies, while Pak Anthony's assets are 90% in Indonesian stocks (ICBP, Emtek, etc.) and some foreign stocks.
💡 The key takeaway is that these individuals became wealthy primarily through their underlying businesses, which were later taken public (IPO).

Global Wealth Concentration and Investment Theory
🌍 To be considered wealthy globally in 2021, the required asset level was $1.9 million USD (nearly 30 billion Rupiah).
👑 Global top figures like Bernard Arnault (LVMH) and Jeff Bezos (Amazon) derived their massive wealth from founding and leading their primary companies, not solely from share ownership.
📉 Diversification alone will not lead to extreme wealth; it is more effective for achieving financial security and financial freedom.

The Three Buckets of Financial Risk Management
🪜 Investment strategy should follow a tiered approach based on risk tolerance and life stage, expanding on the Markowitz theory:
1. Personal Risk Bucket: Focuses on avoiding poverty and bankruptcy by building an emergency fund using low-risk assets (gold, money market mutual funds, deposits).
2. Market Risk Bucket: Aims to maintain current lifestyle; assets are allocated to higher-risk products like blue-chip stocks, ETFs, and bonds, where diversification is recommended.
3. Aspirational Risk Bucket: Reserved for those who have secured Levels 1 and 2; this involves highly concentrated and speculative bets (business, property, stocks, potentially crypto) where significant loss is acceptable.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Extreme wealth originates from concentrated assets (owning the core business), not just broad diversification of passive investments.
➡️ Achieving financial freedom is possible through disciplined investing across the first two risk buckets, but becoming extremely rich usually requires hard work and intelligent strategy within a core business.
➡️ The initial success factor for tycoons like Elon Musk was creating the core business (Tesla, SpaceX), not just holding the resulting stock shares.
