Chemical Maestro’s Wallet on a Wild Ride…
In a plot twist worthy of the wildest football soap opera, Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s bank account has shown more swinging action than a malfunctioning goal line technology! Dropping a cheeky £6.5 billion in the last 12 months, Sir Jim certainly isn’t down to his last few pennies behind the sofa cushions. With a net worth that’s a bumper £17 billion, he’s still striding around as the North West’s wealthiest tycoon like a high-flying football manager on derby day.
The Manchester United co-owner, with assets as grand as Old Trafford’s legendary pitch, snagged a 27.7% stake in the club making him the envy of the football universe. The INEOS founder, a financial wizard who turns business deals into gold-plated trophies, saw his wallet subjected to the whims of an economy wilder than a last-minute penalty shootout! Rumor has it, he’s dusting off his old business playbook to conjure more economic magic than a free-kick in extra time.
Meanwhile, the Dukes, bookies, and even retail magnates are competing in their own money-league rivalries! From the Grosvenor family’s property goals in one corner to Tom Morris’s bargain bonanza in another, and the Issa brothers scoring major capitalist hat-tricks, it’s a championship of coins! Who knew the Rich List felt like an over-caffeinated transfer window, with fortunes rising and falling like a yo-yo with a case of the hiccups!
