2. Lakshmi Mittal
Net worth: $16.7 billion (£10 billion)
Consistently one of the wealthiest men in Britain for the past decade, Indian businessman Lakshmi Mittal is the CEO of the world’s largest steel manufacturer.
In December 2007, Mittal joined Formula 1 magnates Bernie Ecclestone and Flavio Bristore in buying a stake in Queens Park Rangers.
With owners worth billions behind them, it was expected that the West London club would become a major player in world football, but Mittal and his co-investors have been reticent to pump too much money into the club.
Today, Tony Fernandes is the majority shareholder of QPR, with Mittal holding a 33 percent stake.
