Sir Jim Ratcliffe has soared up the Sunday Times Rich List to become the second-richest individual in the United Kingdom.

Ratcliffe, CEO of INEOS chemicals company, is vying for a controlling stake in Manchester United and is battling it out with Qatari businessman Sheikh Jassim, who recently made an improved fourth offer to acquire 100% ownership of the club.

Sheikh Jassim and Ratcliffe have been in the news plenty since they first made their intentions known of buying Man Utd.
