Jim Ratcliffe's purchases may help him be remembered beyond his fortune from a $52 billion petrocchemicals giant.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe likes to keep busy. As a reward for working a seven-day week at his €40 billion petrochemical empire Ineos , the British billionaire treats himself to a flurry of side projects, from owning a London pub and a football club to embarking on a real estate splurge in the remotest parts of Iceland.
It was over a pint in that pub that Ratcliffe decided to reignite the Land Rover Discovery, naming the soon-to-be-released model the Grenadier after his beloved watering hole.LONDON, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 16: Patrons drink outside the Grenadier Pub in West London at the start of the weekend prior to the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on Monday on September 16, 2022 in London, England.
That’s obviously a part of it, says Liz Colfer, associate director and chartered financial planner at wealth management business Five Wealth. However, lurking underneath this fulfillment of childhood dreams is likely a more tactical motivation. LONDON, ENGLAND - MAY 25: Sir Jim Ratcliffe, minority owner of Manchester United interacts with Andre Onana of Manchester United after the Emirates FA Cup Final match between Manchester City and Manchester United at Wembley Stadium on May 25, 2024 in London, England.
