According to research by the Center for Economic and Law Studies (Celios), the total wealth of 578 members of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR) in 2026 reached Rp26.7 trillion.
On average, these legislators have a wealth of around Rp46 billion per person.
The Celios research team collected this data from the 2026 State Officials Wealth Report (LHKPN).
Overall, DPR members from the Golkar Party faction have the largest total wealth, amounting to Rp5.88 trillion.
In second place are DPR members from the PDI-Perjuangan faction, with a total wealth of Rp5.10 trillion.
"However, this wealth is not evenly distributed, but rather concentrated among a certain number of figures in each party," said Celios in the report Oligarchic Republic: Economic Inequality in Indonesia 2026.
Celios found several figures who stand out as the richest legislators in their parties.
For example, Sihar Sitorus from PDI-Perjuangan with a wealth of around Rp871 billion. Then there's Haeny Relawati Rini Widyastuti from the Golkar Party, who has a wealth of around Rp470 billion.
Next is PKB politician Rusdi Kirana, who is also the richest legislator in the DPR with a wealth of Rp2.60 trillion, and Fathi from the Democratic Party with a wealth of Rp1.73 trillion.
Here are the details of the total wealth of DPR members by political party faction in 2026, according to a report by Celios:
- Partai Golongan Karya (Golkar): Rp5.88 trillion (101 seats in the DPR)
- Partai Demokrasi Indonesia (PDI)-Perjuangan: Rp5.10 trillion (110 seats in the DPR)
- Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa (PKB): Rp4.18 trillion (68 seats in the DPR)
- Partai Demokrat: Rp3.12 trillion (44 seats in the DPR)
- Partai Nasional Demokrat (Nasdem): Rp3.06 trillion (69 seats in the DPR)
- Partai Gerakan Indonesia Raya (Gerindra): Rp2.90 trillion (86 seats in the DPR)
- Partai Amanat Nasional (PAN): Rp1.48 trillion (48 seats in the DPR)
- Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS): Rp930.57 billion (53 seats in the DPR)
According to Celios, parties with a large number of seats tend to be filled by legislators with high wealth.
"This means that political power (seats) goes hand in hand with financial power (candidates' wealth)," said Celios.
"High political costs (campaigns, logistics, vote mobilization, and patronage networks) make electoral competition economically unneutral. As a result, access to victory is increasingly determined by a candidate's financial capacity, not just the quality of representation," they said.
