Deddy Corbuzier's Journey from Microlet Driver's Child to YouTube Media Boss, Wealth Nearly Rp 1 Trillion

Since childhood, Deddy grew up in a simple family. His father, Omar Sundjojo, once worked as a microlet driver in Jakarta to meet the family's needs. From there, Deddy learned the meaning of perseverance.

Starting his career as a mentalist, Deddy shocked the world of magic in the country and internationally. His expertise successfully led him to win the Merlin Award as the World's Best Mentalist two consecutive times, the highest award in the global magic world.

For years, his bold and innovative performances strengthened his reputation as a legendary magician before he ultimately decided to change direction.

In 2010, Deddy was trusted to host Hitam Putih on Trans7, solidifying his name as a charismatic host. With a distinctive black and white style both in concept and appearance, he discussed various topics ranging from celebrity stories to social issues with a light yet impactful tone. The success of this show paved the way for him to experiment in the realm of television and other digital content.

In the midst of a busy schedule, Deddy's personal life was tested by his divorce from Kalina Ocktaranny in January 2013. However, the co-parenting that Deddy undertook with his ex-wife received praise due to their openness and commitment to maintaining the happiness of their child, Azkanio Nikola Corbuzier.

In the lifestyle realm, Deddy popularized the Obsessive Corbuzier's Diet (OCD), a fasting method that he developed himself. He poured this concept into the book 'OCD: Obsessive Corbuzier’s Diet' which was released in October 2013 and became a bestseller, with the second printing in just a week, and 1,000 copies sold out on the first day.

After stepping back from the world of magic, Deddy transformed into a successful YouTuber. His main channel, Deddy Corbuzier, now has over 24 million subscribers with total views exceeding 6.4 billion.

To support this healthy lifestyle, Deddy established the Osbond Gym network of fitness centers in Jakarta and its surroundings, equipped with international quality sports equipment and special HIIT programs.

There, he presents the Close the Door podcast format, which often serves as a platform for clarifying hot issues, ranging from celebrity controversies to public debates, with a firm yet respectful interview style towards the sources. He also produces other shows such as LOGIN, Somasi, Podhub, Goyang Lidah, and others.

Deddy's family life has become even more complete. On June 6, 2022, he married model Sabrina Chairunnisa, who is approximately 16 years younger than him.

Deddy adopted a daughter, Nada Tarina Putri, whom he met at the Indonesia Mencari Bakat event in August 2022. Nada Tarina Putri is actually the biological daughter of Hans Boyke (alias Bheben), the bassist of the music group T-Five. When Nada shared her family's difficulties in financing her ballet school—her mother does not have a steady income, Deddy was moved to help. He promised to cover all of Nada's ballet education costs and later officially adopted her in order to provide a better future.

On February 11, 2025, Deddy was appointed as Special Staff to the Minister of Defense for Social and Public Communication by Minister of Defense Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin. This appointment aims to leverage Deddy's communication expertise to socialize defense programs to the community.

Now, the fruits of his labor have fully paid off: according to a report from Brilio, Deddy's total wealth is estimated to nearly reach IDR 1 trillion, including land and building assets worth IDR 66.6 billion, movable assets worth IDR 496.2 billion, securities worth IDR 386.1 billion, and cash and cash equivalents worth IDR 21.7 billion.
