Mochtar Riady, born Lie Mo Tie ( Chinese: 李 文 正; pinyin: Lǐ Wén Zhèng; born 12 May 1929) [1] [2] is an Indonesian financial magnate and the founder and chairman emeritus of Lippo Group. He was born in Malang to a Chinese Indonesian family. At five months old, his parents took him to his father's ancestral village in Fujian where he lived until he was six years old. [3] [4]
Riady's father was a batik trader named Liapi (1887–1959), while his mother was named Sibelau (1889–1937). Both of his parents migrated from Fujian and arrived in Malang in 1918. [5]
