Lakshmi Mittal – 16.5 billion $
Before we go to the top 3 richest football club owners in Europe we stop a little at number 4 who isn’t a full owner, holding only 34% of stocks at the english football club Queens Park Rangers F.C.
Lakshmi Mittal is the CEO and Chairman of ArcelorMittal, the biggest metal producing company in the world, and has a worth of over 16 billion dollars, his name appearing in Forbes richest men several times over the years.
Before Queens Park Rangers F.C, Mittal’s name was mentioned in the selling and buying of clubs like Wigan and Everton, QPR is his last club to hold shares, with another two partners.
From 2010 Mittal remains in QPR’s shareholders with only one other holder, Bernie Ecclestone, his friend.
Inside the team Mittal appointed his son-in-law Amit Bhatia to take a seat on board of directors to represent his interests in the club.
Down to the richest of the riches! ->
