Controlling shareholder of the Djarum Group and, as of 2026, the sole ultimate controlling shareholder of PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA), Indonesia's largest private bank. Following the death of his brother Michael Bambang Hartono in March 2026, Budi became the sole controlling shareholder of PT Dwimuria Investama Andalan, the holding company that controls BCA; his ownership stake in the holding company remains 51%. The Hartono family's fortune began with Djarum, a kretek cigarette company founded by their father in 1951, which the two brothers took over after his death in 1963 and grew into one of Indonesia's largest cigarette producers. The family's most valuable asset is their stake in BCA, which they acquired following the 1997-1998 Asian financial crisis. The Djarum Group also holds interests in property, consumer goods, electronics (Polytron), and digital ventures including Bilibili.
