What is Nurdian Cuaca's Net Worth?
Nurdian Cuaca, an Indonesian businessman, boasts a net worth of $50 million. His rise to fame followed his high-profile divorce from Jamie Chua Xin Yin, a former Chinese Singapore Airlines stewardess. The couple tied the knot in the late 80s and had two children together, daughter Calista and son Cleveland.
Divorce and Alimony
Their 2011 divorce made international headlines largely due to Jamie’s staggering alimony request of $450,000 per month to maintain her luxurious lifestyle. At the time, Cuaca owned real estate in Hong Kong valued at over $15 million and had private investments worth $80 million. Jamie successfully froze his assets until the court finalized the division of their wealth, which included two houses (one in Sentosa Cove and another in Hong Kong), an extensive wine collection, a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, a Porsche, and a private company.
Jamie's Luxurious Lifestyle
Jamie Chua is renowned for her extravagant lifestyle, purportedly spending $14,000 monthly on personal beauty treatments. Additionally, she reportedly owns the world's largest collection of Birkin handbags, each costing between $60,000 and $200,000.
Legal Complications
The divorce proceedings were complicated by an investigation into Cuaca by Interpol for alleged fraud, initiated after Jamie accused him of concealing assets. Despite these hurdles, the couple reached an amicable, undisclosed agreement on their asset division in 2011.
