Brilio.net - Ari Wibowo's household drama with his ex-wife, Inge Anugrah, apparently continues to this day. It is known that Ari Wibowo officially divorced on September 13 2023. He decided to separate and end his marriage with Inge Anugrah after 17 years together.
After a year of silence, now Ari Wibowo has revealed one of the reasons he decided to divorce Inge. It turns out that this is not far from financial matters.
Ari revealed this recently when he was invited to the Pagi Pagi Ambyar program on a private television station. At first, the hosts of Pagi-Pagi Ambyar, Caren Delano and Dewi Persik asked Ari Wibowo about the news that Inge Anugrah had no savings after her divorce.
"'I don't have savings after divorcing from Ari Wibowo, I just brought.....'. What did you bring, bro?" asked the two hosts.
The 53 year old man then explained about his household finances with Inge. According to him, his ex-wife did not want to work even though she had a master's degree.
"In fact, all this time he never wanted to work, so I also asked you, a Masters graduate, don't you want to work," he said.
Inge's reasons for not wanting to work at first were understandable if her children were still small and needed a lot of attention. However, now their children are teenagers so they should be able to leave them to work.
"If the children are still small, it's a different story, they need attention, the children are already in junior high school. They even go to school until the afternoon from the morning," he explained.

However, Inge admitted that she was confused about looking for work. Age and lack of work experience are the main obstacles for him to get a job.
"He said, 'I want to work at this age, I don't have work experience'," said Ari Wibowo, imitating his ex-wife's words.
Ari understood the situation and decided not to force it. The German man said he was the one who prepared all his household needs.
"I said, 'Yes, that's okay'. That's why, from the beginning I was the one who provided everything," he continued.
Richard Kevin's uncle admitted that he was not the type of man who would leave all his finances to his wife. Since the beginning of their marriage, Ari has tried to ensure that Inge doesn't have to worry about financial matters.
"Everyone has a different way of running family finances. I'm not the type of man who doesn't give all the money to his wife, like 'please take care of it', there are things like that. I'm not like that," he said.
"I really don't want to bother my wife, I pay all the bills. I just give her a credit card, she (Inge Anugrah) just uses it. I just fill it up," he explained.

Then responding to Inge who was crying and talking about looking for a boarding house after the divorce because she had no money, Ari said that Inge was actually the daughter of a rich person. He is sure that his ex-wife will be fine.
"He also doesn't come from a difficult family, he comes from a very well-to-do family, so what he's crying about is looking for a boarding house, the house is big and there are lots of empty rooms in his parents' house," said Ari. "So it's all drama. There's no need to discuss this anymore," said Ari.
Suddenly, Ari's statement drew protests from netizens. Not a few people think that Ari is a stingy man.
"Making it clear that he is stingy," said @deliaawinaawn
"That means Ari Wibowo is really stingy, to the point where his wife doesn't have any savings, he just gives her pocket money," said @hidayati_rochmah
"He's really stingy, he doesn't trust his wife's finances," said @ev_fitria
"That means being stingy, to the point of asking his wife to work, the wife should be happy to be at home most of the time and able to pay attention to her children and husband, it seems a bit the opposite," commented @wonder_women1712
