About Me

Lakshmi Mittal is executive chairman of $61.3 billion (revenue) ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steel and mining company by output. His son, Aditya, is CEO since 2021. Hailing from a steel clan, he separated from his siblings to start Mittal Steel then went on to merge the company with France's Arcelor in 2006. ArcelorMittal reported net income of $3.15 billion in 2025, a 142% rise from $1.3 billion in 2024. A long-time resident of the U.K., Mittal shifted his base to Switzerland following an exodus of the wealthy hit by the U.K.'s new tax regime. In May 2026, he agreed to buy Indian Premier League cricket team Rajasthan Royals for $1.65 billion together with Adar Poonawalla, the son of vaccine billionaire Cyrus Poonawalla.
