Sir Jim Ratcliffe loses £6.5bn and quarter of total wealth one year on from Man Utd takeover as Old Trafford unrest continues

<p>The 72-year-old, who was once Britain's richest man, is said to have seen his fortune slip from £23.519bn ($31.2bn) to £17.046bn ($22.6bn) over the course of the last 12 months. That is according to the <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/sunday-times-rich-list/feature/article/richest-people-uk-2025-revealed-vnkmnlxgz " target="_blank"><em>Sunday Times Rich List</em></a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p><span></span>Ratcliffe now sits seventh on the list of the UK’s 350 richest people. He has cited the financial pressures on British petrochemical firm INEOS for that hit, but insists his involvement with Premier League giants United will not be impacted.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Issues off the pitch have been mirrored by struggles on it, with United sat 16th in the Premier League table.
