Indian steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal has topped the Sunday Times Rich List despite seeing 27% wiped off the value of his family fortune in the last year.

The loss came after a dramatic drop in the share value of his principal business, the giant steel producer ArcelorMittal.

The Mittals have now been number one in the rich list continuously since 2005.
