Mittal heads list of super rich losers of 2008
According to the Sunday Times Rich List 2008, Mr Mittal heads the list of 10 super-rich losers, including Anil Agarwal who lost 2.9 billion pounds in the market.
His stake in ArcelorMittal, the steel conglomerate, fell from 33.24 billion pounds on June 4 this year to 16.63 billion pounds at the close of Friday's markets. The loss is the equivalent to 137 million pounds a day or nearly six million pounds an hour.

Mr Mittal is also joint owner of the Queens Park Rangers with Bernie Ecclestone, head of Formula One, and Flavio Briatore, managing director of the Renault F1 team.

Dunstone's shareholding has fallen from 1.1 billion pounds to 497 million pouns, while Ross has lost 372 million pounds.
Lord Rothemere, chairman of the Daily Mail and General Trust, has been hit hard by the fall in advertising revenue, with the value of his shareholding falling from 707 million pounds in May 2007 to 275 million pounds
