This term is generally to emphasize that the individual was previously part of a lower socioeconomic rank, and that such wealth has provided the means for the acquisition of goods or luxuries that were previously unobtainable.

Based on forbes 2008 Abdulrizal Bakrie was Indonesian the most richest person in his country. Because Indonesia is a country with an unlimited natural resource, so most of Indonesian millionaire, Bakrie’s business also based on natural resource which become the most popular business in Indonesia. Because of Oil’s price fluctuation, another natural energy resource like coal become a new trend. Bakrie from their company Bumi resource do some coal exploitation in Indonesia. Indonesia’s Coal is a coal with the best quality coal in this world.
