YOGYAKARTA Not many people know Arini Subianto, one of the richest women who is even recognized by Forbes Magazine. She has several large companies engaged in various business fields.

This article will provide information about who Arini Subianto is known as a woman with a total asset of up to trillions of rupiah.

Arini Saraswaty Subianto is one of the richest women in Indonesia who was crowned by Forbes. This status achievement cannot rule out his family background. He is the eldest son of the Indonesian conglomerate, Benny Subianto who is also known as a key figure in the success of PT Astra International Tbk (Astra Group).

Arini Subianto's educational background is also quite classy. He completed his undergraduate education in New York, namely at the Parsons School of Design. In addition, he also won the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design.

Not only that, Arini also turned out to have a business educational background in 1996-1998. This is evidenced by his success in obtaining a Master of Business Administration from Fordham University Graduate School of Business Administration, New York.

Before leading the company inherited from his father, Arini had started his own business. In 1998, he had started a business by setting up souvenir shops and gifts in the Blok M area, South Jakarta.

The business was then developed by Winfred Hutabarat, who is a school friend. In its development, the shop turned into a bookstore called Aksara. The Aksara shop had opened several outlets in malls and elite areas, namely Cilandak Town Square (Citos), Pacific Place (PP), and Kemang. Unfortunately since 2018 the Aksara book store has started to close its branches.

In addition to the Aksara bookstore, Arini is also known as one of the founders of the Union Group, which is a company that focuses on Jakarta-based (F&B).

It should be noted that Arini was previously married to Andre Mamuaya, who is a Corporate Affairs at PT Adaro Energy Tbk. Unfortunately in 2012 her husband died in a traffic accident. Arini then lived without a husband with two children.

Arini again felt sorrow for being left behind by his father who died in 2017. Since then he had to take over the company that was previously managed by his father while he was still alive. The eldest son of the three brothers was trusted by the extended family to continue Benny Subianto's struggle, namely by leading all businesses under the umbrella of PT Persada Capital Investama.

At PT Persada, Arini is listed as president director of the company. The company has a portfolio including the minority stake of coal giant PT Adaro Energy Tbk (ADRO). In the company he also had to replace his father, who at that time was a Commissioner of PT Adaro Energy.

It seems that Arini's status as the richest woman in Indonesia is not nonsense. Arini's success made her achieve up to trillions of assets. Forbes magazine, at the end of 2021, noted that the assets that were successfully owned reached USD 975 million or approximately IDR 14.7 trillion.

In 2019 Forbes released 50 lists of the richest people in Indonesia, in which Arini ranks 49th with a wealth of Rp8.8 trillion. Arini's wealth is estimated to continue to increase in 2020, which is Rp9.29 trillion.
