LAKSHMI MITTAL, executive chairman of ArcelorMittal SA and one of Britain’s richest residents, has purchased a mansion in Dubai’s Emirates Hills, known as the “Beverly Hills of Dubai”, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

The Baroque-style home was listed for around £150 million in 2023 and sold for roughly half that amount earlier this year, according to people with knowledge of the deal.

The residence is lavishly decorated with gold leaf, the selling agent had said. Bloomberg reported the deal is among the most expensive residential sales in Dubai.

Mittal, 74, has a net worth of more than £17.3 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The purchase comes as he considers leaving the UK following recent tax changes. A person familiar with the matter told Bloomberg that no final decision has been made yet.

The UK recently scrapped its preferential tax regime for non-domiciled residents, prompting several wealthy individuals, including Nassef Sawiris and Bart Becht, to relocate.

Mittal has been a prominent figure in UK business and politics for over two decades.

A representative for the Mittals told Bloomberg there are no plans to move their investment firm, LK Advisers, from London. The family continues to reside at their Kensington home.

Recession fears grow in UK as Iran conflict threatens £35bn economic hit

  • Energy shock linked to Iran conflict may shrink UK economy by £35bn
  • Recession risk grows if oil prices spike further
  • Interest rates expected to rise as inflation pressures build

The UK economy is staring at a potential £35bn setback, with recession fears building as the Iran conflict drives up energy prices and inflation. Fresh warnings from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research suggest the fallout could slow growth sharply and leave households and businesses under renewed financial strain. The energy crisis linked to the Iran conflict has become a central concern, with inflation pressures and rising borrowing costs threatening to reshape the UK’s economic outlook.

Brent crude has already climbed to around £89 ($111) a barrel, and in a more severe scenario, it could reach £112 ($140). That kind of increase could push inflation above 5 per cent, significantly higher than earlier expectations, and force stronger intervention from the Bank of England. The knock-on effect could be a slowdown in economic activity, with some forecasts suggesting the risk of a recession in the latter half of the year if pressures continue to build.
