Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe’s estimated wealth declines by almost £2 billion, according to updated figures published in the UK’s rich list by the Sunday Times. The Athletic reports Ratcliffe’s wealth is just over £15.19 billion, down from about £17.05 billion in 2025. The Daily Mail similarly says his estimated wealth falls by nearly £2 billion and that he drops to ninth place on the Sunday Times list of the richest people in the UK. Both outlets describe the change as a reduction in estimated net worth rather than a specific explanation for the movement in value. The reporting also consistently cites Ratcliffe’s status as a co-owner of Manchester United and focuses on the updated estimate and how it compares with the prior year’s figure. Across the sources provided, the central shared points are the size of the decline, the updated estimated total, and Ratcliffe’s rank on the list.
