How did billionaire Lakshmi Mittal’s brother Pramod go bankrupt? – Evening Standard

When it comes to Londons richest men, they dont come much wealthier than Lakshmi Mittal.

With a fortune estimated at nearly 7 billion, the gods have been smiling on the tycoon who built his riches buying and building steel factories around the world.

Indeed, when he was born in India his parents named him after Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth.

Fittingly, 70-year-old Mittal lives in one of the most expensive properties in London on what Foxtons describes as one of the priciest streets on the planet Kensington Palace Gardens.

Foxtons should know its billionaire founder Jon Hunt is one of Mittals neighbours, living just a few doors down from Mittals 117 million pile.
