Top 20 Richest Asians

Top 20 Richest Asians

"The Asian influence on British business is staggering. From the entrepreneurial types such as the Jatania brothers, to Vodafone chief executive Arun Sarin at the helm of a FTSE 100 company, and now Asian companies stalking their European rivals, this vast continent is making its presence felt at every level of UK plc.

Top of the list: Mike Jatania and his three brothers run the cosmetics giant Lornamead
The figures alone tell quite a story. Asian-owned businesses in London have a turnover of about £60bn a year, while real Asian wealth increased by 69pc between 1998 and 2005, compared with UK GDP up just 23pc."
