Ratcliffe, 71, came second and is worth just £30 billion in the 2023 list.
However, this year he dropped to fourth place on the overall list.
But he still has a handsome net worth of £23.519 billion.
He saw his company Ineos complete the purchase of a £1.03bn 27.7 per cent stake in Man Utd in February, which saw them take sporting control of the club.
The latest financial estimates have placed the Red Devils as the most valuable football club in the world at £4.9 billion.
Ratcliffe’s plans for the club will take time to come to fruition, with plans to revamp both the team and stadium – possibly featuring a “Wembley of the North” – in the coming years.

Hamilton also tops the list of sports stars and is ninth on the under-40 rich list, ahead of the likes of Rory McIlroy, Anthony Joshua and Sir Andy Murray.
