Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Talking about the wealth of world conglomerates is always interesting. Moreover, if the conglomerate is still young, even under the age of 30.
For example, Kevin David Lehmann who owns 50% of the leading drugstore chain in Germany, drogerie market (DM). The company is able to generate annual revenues of up to US $ 12 billion.
From this business, Kevin has assets of US$ 2.4 billion or the equivalent of around Rp. 36 trillion. This value places him in the ranks of the world’s 1,292 richest people, the Forbes version. Even though he is in the order of the last, Kevin is only 20 years old.
His company started in 1973 when Goetz Werner opened his first store in Karlsruhe, Germany. In 1974, Kevin’s father David Lehmann, namely Guenther, who was then running his family’s grocery chain in Pfannkuch, invested in Drogerie Market (DM).
Guenther transferred his 50% ownership of DM shares to Kevin David in 2017.
Neither Kevin David nor his father were operationally involved.
Apart from Kevin, here are a number of the youngest billionaires in the world, as quoted by Forbes.

If Germany in Germany has Kevin, then Indonesia has Haji Isam’s children, namely Jhony Saputra and also Liana Saputra. One source of his wealth is PT Pradiksi Gunatama (PGUN).
Johnny became the shareholder with the largest direct ownership when the company made an initial public offering. The combined wealth of Haj Isam’s two children, namely Liana and Jhony, reached Rp 5.08 trillion from their shareholding in PGUN.
In the IPO prospectus, the name Haji Isam does not appear in this company, but the ownership is controlled by his two children. The name Haji Isam itself only appeared when its sister company JARR went public last year.
