Prabowo Subianto's career is marked by a remarkable political comeback. After being discharged from the military and banned from the United States, he built a political party from scratch and contested three presidential elections, finally winning in 2024. His victory at age 73 made him the oldest first-term president in Indonesian history. He is one of only three Indonesian presidents with a military background. His campaign's innovative use of a cartoon avatar to soften his image was widely noted. His business empire, Nusantara Energy, with US$10 billion in assets, underscores his influence beyond politics.
