Career[edit]
Upon his return to Indonesia, together with Muhammad Lutfi, Wishnu Wardhana and R. Harry
Zulnardy, he formed the Mahaka Group.[2]
In 2001, the Mahaka group bought the newspaper Republika, then facing bankruptcy.
[2]
Because of Thohir's background in communications, he was chosen to lead the paper.
[2]
Inexperienced with the world of newspapers, Thohir received support from his father, as well
as founder of Kompas Jakob Oetama and founder of Jawa Pos Dahlan Iskan.[2] The Mahaka
group later acquired the Chinese-focused newspaper Harian Sin Chew Indonesia, a
localization of Sin Chew Daily.[2]
A 2009 report in the Jakarta Globe noted that Thorir's holdings included the lifestyle and sports
magazines a+, Parents Indonesia, and Golf Digest, newspapers Harian Sin Chew
Indonesia and Republika, the television station JakTV, radio stations GEN 98.7 FM, Prambors
FM, Delta FM, and FeMale Radio, as well as numerous advertising, ticketing, entertainment
and Web sites.[2] He is also the founder of two charities, the education-oriented Darma Bakti
Mahaka Foundation and Dompet Dhuafa Republika.[2] By 2011, he and Anindya Bakrie coowned the television stations tvOne and antv, as well as the internet news site Viva News.
[3]
Some sources estimate his net wealth at $25 billion. [5]
