- Ratcliffe founded petrochemicals company Ineosin 1998 which would go on to make him a multi-billionaire. Now, he is understood to be worth 21billion.
- Explaining the secret to his major success, he told The Times: Wed look at businesses that were unfashionable or unsexy, facilities owned by large corporations where youd know they would be sloppy with the fixed costs. Wed run them a bit better, reduce the costs, make them busy, and over the cycle they are very profitable.
