London, March 27
NRI industrialists Hinduja brothers today emerged as the richest Asian-origin entrepreneurs in Britain for the third consecutive year with an estimated personal fortune of £15.5 billion.
The India-born brothers topped the ‘Asian Rich List 2015’ released here and the annual rankings showed that they had added £2 billion to their personal fortune in a year to be worth an estimated £15.5 billion.
The ‘Asian Rich List’ assesses the total wealth of Britain’s top 101 richest Asians and is compiled by UK-based publishing house Asian Media and Marketing Group (AMG).
Steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal’s net worth dropped £2.7 billion to a total of £9.7 billion due to the plummeting share price of his company ArcelorMittal.
Mittal is ranked second in this year’s tally. Plastics tycoon Prakash Lohia ranks third. — PTI
