To be honest, I can’t think of any difference between the two of them. 😅 Indonesians tend to use the latter more I guess.

There is literally no difference between the two. Only the root word "punya" is actually a verb, while "milik" is a noun. So the use of "mempunyai" is more general and "memiliki" is more specific and stronger. The word "memiliki" also has the added meaning of "to claim something" or "to take illegally to make its own." But it doesn't apply to verb "mempunyai."
