The Hindujas – 20.6B GBP
Sri and Gopi Hinduja are brothers and together, they run the Hinduja Group. They are ranked as the second wealthiest people in the United Kingdom! The mega-conglomerate is involved in banking, healthcare, automobiles, foundries, and more! They have many assets far and wide. The business began as a family business back in India, though their father had to move the company to Iran back in 1919. After the revolution in Iran, the brothers moved it to London in 1979, several years after the death of their father. They got their big break when Sri got the rights to a Bollywood film called Sangam. Surprisingly, the overseas sales skyrocketed and brought the company incredible profit.
