From playing football as a child to help forget his hardships to buying a stake in Manchester United, Jim Ratcliffe, the British billionaire, has a superyacht as exciting as his life. The $150 million vessel features a zip-line, sauna rooms, a beach club, and a helicopter deck.
About the UK’s second-richest man, Sir Jim Ratcliffe:
The 71-year-old billionaire with $17.5 billion is the founder and majority owner of chemicals manufacturer Ineos. It was a natural path for the man who studied chemical engineering at the University of Birmingham. The journey, however, began with a career at oil giant Esso before moving to Courtaulds, a textiles and chemicals company. Thereafter, he founded INEOS in 1992, and today, the London-based company has more than 26,000 employees in 29 countries with a jaw-dropping revenue of $65 billion.
