Lakshmi Mittal and family have topped the rich list in the UK’s Sunday Times newspaper.
Mittal heads up the world’s biggest steelmaker, ArcelorMittal and has had his wealth estimated at £22,450 million (AED126,777 million), up from £10,800 million in 2009.
Nominally the richest Briton, Mittal hails from India, where his father built up the family steel operation in Calcutta.
In 2009, ArcelorMittal had revenues of $65.1 billion and crude steel production of 73.2 million tonnes, representing approximately 8% of world steel output.
Recently ArcelorMittal acquired a 28.8% stake in Uttam Galva Steels, a producer of cold rolled steel, galvanized products and color coated coils and sheets, based in western India.
ArcelorMittal has also entered into initial discussions with BHP Billiton to potentially combine their respective iron-ore mining and infrastructure interests in Liberia and Guinea within a joint venture.

Congrats Mittalji !!!
Mittalji, Badhai Ho!!!( Mr. Mittal, Congrats!!!)You made India proud,thanks. You made more than enough money as an NRI but now please make india too rich,live and healthy by way of investing back in India heavily starting new projects, takingover of sick Industries etc. By this way you can make India live and happening country creating new employment opportunuity to millions of (your own brothers)Indians. After all by this way you will pay back the gratitude to your mother India. Indian politicians are amassing wealth and siphoning money out of country to swiss banks at least you can bring back the wealth by investing in your own country and inturn you will get returns. Money makes many things, how much more money you want to earn? reality is which you can not take it with you and leave everything behind when you go.Atleast earn some blessings from your mother country.

Congradulations to Indians
Its proud to hear the news of Mr. Mittal and as an Indian, its proud for us. Our country as whole should be uplifted economically and develop overall to have better standard of living as I feell there is much inequality in standard of living. Necessaries of life should be provided without any scarcity - like water, bread and electricity.

Indian steel magnatenamed Britain's richest man
Lakshmi Mittal and family I will ask them, not because they top the world's biggest steel makers, but just being in the business of steel making, that in their business lifetime did they see any set back in their business? Similarly, other smaller companies in the same field follow the road map. It is the same like petrol, it rises up and down on the account of the profit only without seing the below 0 line. Like petrol, the need for the steel is being increased worldwide, because of the heavy need in consstruction projects, steel bridges, high rizing buildings with more reinforcements against earthquakes, etc..
