The Super Rich in Indonesia

When we read the most recent article on the extremely extravagant lifestyle of Lila's Indonesian family, I questioned whether this family was the exception or if there were any other families like them in Indonesia. I supposed that this was a unique family, an Indonesian version of the Kardashian's perhaps. However, i was surprised to find this video which says that the number of super rich Indonesians has shot up in recent years. One way that they measure this growth of the super rich is by keeping track of how many people have private jets. 5 years ago there only ten Indonesians who owned a plane and now in excess of fourty own one or more planes. Indonesia has the fastest growing south east Asian market and this is leading to more and more Indonesians becoming super rich (although most of Indonesia remains poor). It was semi-shocking to me but it seems that Lila's family is not unique.
