TAHIR

The banking and property magnate and billionaire philanthropist Tahir—who goes by one name—is also a member of Indonesia’s Presidential Advisory Council. His foundation has given Rp52 billion in initial relief efforts through the Istiqlal Mosque, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Jakarta and the Council of Churches in Indonesia, as well as to facilities in other provinces. “By channeling these donations for those in need through the doors of places of worship, such as The High Priest of Istiqlal Mosque Nasaruddin Umar, we are uniting people from different socio-eceonomic levels regardless of our ethnic and religious differences, and strengthening the relationship among fellow Indonesians,” says Tahir.
