| Description: Number 1 - Lakshmi Mittal CEO of ArcelorMittal, the world’s largest steelmaking company, Mittal is one of the richest men in the world and owns some of the planet’s most expensive homes. He started out working for his father’s business, but when “family differences” got in the way, he wasn’t afraid to spread his wings and set up shop on his own. Why we like him: When India took home just one medal, a bronze, in the 2000 summer Olympics, this Indian tycoon made it his mission to support sport in his country, and pledged US$9 million to support 10 world-class Indian athletes. More recently, he invested £19.6 million in the Olympic Park Tower, the UK’s tallest sculpture. |
