Mohsin and Zuber Issa grew up in humble circumstances to parents who had migrated to the UK from India. They started working in a garage and then acquired petrol stations, owning over 6000 forecourts (EG group), before acquiring the retail chain Asda and its 600-stores-plus, bringing it back into British ownership. Zuber recently sold his stake of Asda (22.5%) to focus on leading and managing the EG petrol sites, and spend more time on charitable endeavours. They are estimated to be worth over £5 billion.
