Head of UK's richest family dies aged 85

GP Hinduja, the patriarch of Britain's wealthiest family, has passed away at 85. Known for his formidable work ethic, he transformed his father's modest ventures into a global conglomerate, the Hinduja Group. With interests in finance, media, and oil, the family's net worth soared to over £35 billion, making them one of India's largest companies. The family's influence extends to significant real estate in London and a sprawling global enterprise. Despite preferring privacy, GP was involved in the 'Hinduja affair' in 2001, which led to Lord Peter Mandelson's resignation. The future of the conglomerate remains uncertain as the family navigates leadership changes. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
