Suharto Sixth In Forbes Cashwads

BSCAL

The assets of a handful of Indonesia's richest people could go a long way to bailing out the country if the $43 billion IMF rescue package falters, data published by Forbes Magazine shows. The magazine publishes an annual list of the world's wealthiest people. Under its Indonesian entry on the public Internet it shows individuals -- including President Suharto -- with net worth totalling nearly $40 billion. The entries do not make clear whether or not the assets are actually denominated in US dollars or when the estimates were made. President Suharto is listed at the top of Indonesian entries -- and sixth overall globally -- with assets totalling $16 billion. The magazine lists his source of wealth as 'Investments (self-made)' and his class, or category, in the listings as 'Kings, Queens and Dictators'.
