What is Nurdian Cuaca's net worth?
Nurdian Cuaca is an Indonesian businessman who has a net worth of $50 million.
Nurdian Cuaca is an Indonesian businessman who gained widespread notoriety following his bitter, highly publicized divorce from Singaporean socialite Jamie Chua in 2011.
While the divorce dominated media headlines with its acrimonious details, Nurdian was already recognized for his entrepreneurial success. He built his wealth through a series of investments and ventures in Indonesia's dynamic business landscape, with a particular focus on property development and diversified investments. His keen business acumen allowed him to capitalize on emerging market opportunities, establishing him as a significant figure in Indonesian commerce. In the aftermath of the divorce, Nurdian has largely retreated from the public eye, concentrating on his business interests and quietly expanding his portfolio. Despite the media storm that brought his personal life into the spotlight, he remains known for his resilience and strategic approach in the competitive world of business.
Divorce Settlement
Nurdian Cuaca and Jamie Chua married in the late 1980s. The couple went on to have two children together: a daughter named Calista and a son named Cleveland.
Their 2011 divorce drew international headlines after Jamie requested $450,000 in MONTHLY alimony payments to support her lifestyle. At the time of their separation, Nurdian Cuaca owned real estate in Hong Kong valued at more than $15 million and an additional $80 million worth of private investments.
Jamie Chua was able to successfully freeze her husband's assets while the court decided how to divide their wealth. They owned two houses, one in Sentosa Cove, the other in Hong Kong, as well as a large wine collection, a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, a Porsche, and a private company.
At the time, Jamie was famously spending a reported $14,000 per month on personal care beauty treatments. She also reportedly had the largest collection of Birken handbags in the world (one bag can cost $60-200k). The divorce settlement was complicated by the fact that, at the time, Nurdian Cuaca was under investigation for fraud by Interpol. Ironically, he was under investigation after his ex-wife accused him of hiding assets. Later in 2011, they reached an amicable undisclosed agreement on the division of their assets.
