Satryo Soemantri Brodjonegoro , who serves as Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology, is now in the public spotlight. Recently, the 2024 State Officials' Wealth Report (LHKPN) revealed that his wealth reached a fantastic figure, namely IDR 46 billion.
The report revealed that Satryo owns a total of 7 properties and 4 luxury vehicles. The emergence of this information has attracted public attention, especially amid protests from his ministry employees who complained about what they considered unfair treatment.
Details of Satryo Soemantri's luxury properties
Satryo's total wealth mostly comes from property assets spread across 7 different locations, with a total value reaching Rp33.65 billion. In South Jakarta, he has two luxury houses worth Rp12 billion and Rp6.25 billion. In addition, there are several properties in South Tangerang with varying values, ranging from Rp1.5 billion to Rp4 billion.
His most expensive property is located in Buleleng, Bali, with a land area of 16,000 square meters and a value of around Rp5 billion. This property investment not only reflects his wealth but also shows a smart asset diversification strategy.
Luxury vehicle collection worth billions of Rupiah
In addition to property, Satryo also owns 4 cars with a total value of Rp1.4 billion. This collection includes a 2016 BMW X3 worth Rp400 million and a 2024 BYD Seal worth Rp700 million. He also owns a 2020 Toyota Innova Reborn worth Rp200 million and a 2011 Ford Escape valued at Rp100 million.
These vehicles reflect Satryos preference for cars with premium features and efficiency. This car collection adds another dimension to his wealth, showing that he is not only investing in property but also in movable assets.
Cash and liquidity reaching IDR 11 billion
Outside of property and vehicles, Satryo has cash and cash equivalents worth Rp11 billion. This liquidity shows his ability to face urgent needs or investment opportunities in a short time. This amount of cash reflects financial stability and prudent asset management.
The controversy behind leadership style and wealth
However, behind the impressive wealth report, Satryo faced sharp criticism from employees in his ministry. The protest by ASN in front of the Kemendikti Saintek office highlighted the alleged arrogance and arbitrary policies implemented by Satryo.
Banners with satirical messages such as "State institutions are not private companies" became a symbol of employee dissatisfaction with their leadership. Some employees even expressed their personal experiences of feeling unfairly treated.
