JAKARTA – Kaesang Pangarep and his wife Elina Gudno are currently in California, US, where they are preparing for the birth of their first child and allowing Elina to continue her studies at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn).
A lifestyle portrait of President Jokowi and his wife's youngest children was posted on social media platform Instagram (verified accounts @kaesangp and @erinagudono) during their stay in the US, sparking criticism from netizens.
Elina Gudno and Kaesang Pangarep's lifestyle in America was considered too hedonistic, while the situation in Indonesia was seen as chaotic and people suffering economic hardships that made their lives even more miserable.
The initial criticism came after Erina posted a portrait of herself on her Instagram story, taken on a private jet during a trip to the US She shared a photo of the plane, which has round windows instead of the oval shape of commercial planes.
“USA here we go,” he wrote on his Instagram story.
Not only that, upon arriving in Elina, Gudno again shared a portrait of Kesang tasting the 400,000 rupiah sandwich.
“Mas Kaesang: '400,000 very expensive bread,'” Elina wrote, explaining the meaning of the photo she took.
Unaware of the blasphemous comments directed at her by netizens, Erina again posted a photo of an egg and two pieces of tempeh, the price of which is known to have reached 500,000 rupiah.
“Mas Kesang: 'There are probably about 500,000 eggs of royal blood,'” Elina explained.
After the food section, Elina Gudno also shopped for baby products for her first child, who will soon be born in the U.S. She showed me a brown leather Mima brand stroller. The Mima Zaristroller costs 1,340 euros, or 23.1 million rupiah, which is not cheap.
And yet, even his attire is indicative of luxury: Though he is wearing only a brown knitted suit, the striped branded brooch embedded in Elina's left breast, as seen in this portrait, is valued at a staggering 7.9 million rupiah.
It is known that Elina Gudno received the LPDP scholarship to pursue a master's degree at the University of Pennsylvania. President Jokowi's son-in-law will begin his master's studies in August 2024. The holder's full name is Elina Sofia Gudno, and she will focus her studies in Non-Governmental Organizations/Non-Profit Leadership. This department will take him on a one-year project with several international organizations such as UNESCO.
