The government has apologised for accidentally sharing the email address of one of the world’s richest men, as well as the contact details of other top business leaders.<\/p>\n

It comes after officials sent out details about No 10’s international investment summit in London next week – which included the contact details of some guests.<\/p>\n

Those who were CC’d into the message, meaning their email addresses were displayed to all recipients, included Bernard Arnault<\/a><\/strong>, the founder and owner of luxury goods firm LVMH.<\/p>\n

The French businessman has an estimated net worth of $182bn (\u00a3139bn) and is currently ranked as the world’s fifth richest person<\/a><\/strong> by Forbes.<\/p>\n

The blunder was first reported by The Sun newspaper.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the Department for Business and Trade apologised and said it had referred itself to the data protection watchdog.<\/p>\n

They told Sky News: “This was caused by an administrative human error, and we apologise to those affected.<\/p>\n

“We take data protection very seriously, and we have referred this issue to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).”<\/p>\n

Sky News has approached the ICO for comment.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
