Eka Cipta Widjaja is the founder of the Sinar Mas Group, which was one of the largest conglomerates during the Indonesian New Order period. His flagship bank, BII or Bank International Indonesia, bankrolled many of his other ventures that made him at one time the king of copra. Another jewel in the crown is the Singaporean-listed Asian Pulp and Paper. His bank, like many other local banks, went under during the 1997-98 economic crisis with $9.7 billion in red and was seized by the government.

On a personal note, Eka Cipta Widjaja is a polygamous who is known to have many official wives and unofficial relationships with countless women. He is rumoured to have sired more than 40 children. He has since retired from the limelight and handed his business over to his children, in particular Indra, Teguh and Franky and grandson Eric Oei Kang, who headed up the Hong Kong-listed construction company Creator Holdings. Indra Widjaja is also the chairman of Bank International Ningbo.
