markets Citi community President Experts travelers Schools The scandal of the Indonesian leader's son and the private jet
On board that August flight from Jakarta to Los Angeles were Kaesang Pangarep, the younger son of President Joko Widodo of Indonesia, and Kaesang's wife, Erina Gudono. Details of the trip trickled out on Erina's social media accounts: a $1,500 stroller for their soon-to-be-born baby and a $25 lobster roll for lunch. Her posts were seen as tone deaf and led to an uproar at home because most Indonesians cannot afford luxury items. But what made many furious was the fact that the couple traveled on a private jet. It was the antithesis of the Everyman image Joko has long projected. The plane was linked to Shopee, the operator of an online mall. The company had planned to construct a new building in the city of Solo, where Joko began his political career and where until recently the mayor was his older son, Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

This was the Los Angeles set of "Shark Tank," the ABC show that for 15 years has turned business negotiation into entertainment. Aspiring entrepreneurs use hustle, gross margins and cringeworthy pitches to pry money from the so-called Sharks in exchange for a stake in their companies.

Some founders leave the tank defeated, humiliated or in tears. Others leave triumphant with handshake deals.
