The
57-year-old Mittal, worth an estimated £27.7
billion, tops the list for the fourth year
running. He was valued at £19.2 billion
in last year's list. His world-leading steel
company ArcelorMittal produces 110 million
tonnes of steel - about 10 percent of the
market. Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich,
with a £11.7 billion fortune, takes
the second spot, followed by the Duke of
Westminster - the richest property developer
in Britain, worth £7 billion.
Srichand
and Gopichande Hinduja, who own the Hinduja
industry and finance empire, are at number
four. The group, worth £6.2 billion,
was set up by their father in 1914. Alisher
Usmanov, a former prosecutor in Uzbekistan,
appears at number five, having built his
£5.7 billion fortune through steel
and ore mines. At number six are Ernesto
Bertarelli, Swiss owner of the pharmaceutical
company Serono, and his wife Kirsty, a former
Miss United Kingdom.
Next
on the list are Hans Rausing and family,
who helped develop the Tetra Pak, shipping
owner John Fredriksen, retail millionaires
Sir Philip and Lady Green, and property
tychoons David and Simon Reuben.
