Lakshmi Naryan Mittal. Richest Asian or man in UK. One of the richest people in the world. Spent 60-65 Million dollars on his daughters wedding. Rented the Palace of Versailles..... Gold invitation cards, celebrities flown from India, all sorts of sh*t.

He also has the most expensive private residence in the world. About $150,000,000 55,000 square foot mansion, 22-23 Kensington Gardens, lives next door to royalty. Yeah, he's got Bill Gates beat.
