2- Ratcliffe grew up in Failsworth, Greater Manchester and lived in a council house with his parents.
- Ratcliffe founded petrochemicals company Ineosin 1998 which would go on to make him a multi-billionaire. Now, he is understood to be worth 21billion.
- Explaining the secret to his major success, he told The Times: Wed look at businesses that were unfashionable or unsexy, facilities owned by large corporations where youd know they would be sloppy with the fixed costs. Wed run them a bit better, reduce the costs, make them busy, and over the cycle they are very profitable.
- Ratcliffe, a boyhood Manchester United fan, lives in Chelsea and has a Stamford Bridge season ticket.
2- The businessman changed Team Skys name to Team Ineos following his successful takeover.
- Ratcliffe is no stranger to owning football clubs. In November 2017, he bought Swiss minnows FC Lausanne-Sport. Zinedine Zidanes son, Enzo Fernandez, was the first signing under Ratcliffes ownership. The club suffered relegation to Switzerlands second tier last season.
- He was knighted by the Queen for his services to business and investment in June 2018.
- Ratcliffe is a strong Brexit supporter. Last year, he announced he was relocating to Monaco, a move which would reportedly save him up to 4billion in tax. Liberal Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable branded the move deeply cynical. He said: The idea we should be dishing out knighthoods to people who have no commitment to this country is rather shameful.
