Pallonji Shapoorji Mistry (1 June 1929 – 28 June 2022) was an Indian-born Irish billionaire construction tycoon, and chairman of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group.[2] According to Bloomberg Billionaires Index, his wealth was estimated to be US$29 billion at the time of his death. With his 18.4% stake in Tata Sons,[1] he was the largest individual shareholder in India's largest private conglomerate, Tata Group, the primary shareholder being the charitable Tata Trusts.[3] He was the richest Irish billionaire at the time of his death,[4] and the world's 143 richest person.[2]

Early life[edit | edit source]

Pallonji Mistry was born to Shapoorji Mistry in Bombay on 1 June 1929.[5] He was a member of Parsi community in Bombay.[6]

The Mistrys own a substantial construction company, Shapoorji Pallonji. Shapoorji, the group patriarch and Pallonji's father, built some of Mumbai's landmarks around the Fort area – the Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank, the Grindlays Bank, the Standard Chartered Bank, the State Bank of India and the Reserve Bank of India buildings.[4]

Career[edit | edit source]

His father first bought shares in Tata Sons in the 1930s, a stake that currently stands at 18.4% which made Mistry the largest individual shareholder in Tata Sons, which is primarily controlled by the Tata philanthropic Allied Trusts.[7][8]

Pallonji Mistry was the chairman of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group through which he owned Shapoorji Pallonji Construction Limited, Forbes Textiles and Eureka Forbes Limited. He was the former chairman of Associated Cement Companies.

Mistry has two sons and two daughters.
