Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has seen his wealth fall by £6.473bn - more than a quarter of his fortune - in the last year, according to the latest Sunday Times Rich List
The 72-year-old's wealth has declined from £23.519bn to £17.046bn in the past 12 months.
He has slipped from fourth to seventh on the annual list of the UK's 350 richest people.
Ratcliffe's Ineos Group bought a 27.7% stake in United in February 2024 in a deal worth about £1.25bn ($1.6bn) that saw Ineos take control of football operations.
The British billionaire's time at Old Trafford has drawn criticism after United raised ticket prices and made two rounds of redundanciesin a bid to improve the club's finances.
Ratcliffe defended some of United's financial cost-cutting measures in a wide-ranging BBC interview in March in which he said the club would have "run out of cash by the end of this year" had he not made "unpopular" decisions.
However, in March United unveiled ambitious plans to build an "iconic" new £2bn, 100,000-seater stadium close to Old Trafford.
Ratcliffe has said that financial pressures on British petrochemical firm Ineos would not impact Manchester United.
