Ratcliffe is the chairman and chief executive officer of the Ineos chemicals group, of which he owns two-thirds, and which has been estimated to have a turnover of $45bn. He does not have a high public profile, and has been described by the "Sunday Times" as "publicity shy".Cite news

Using high-yield debt to finance his deals, Ratcliffe started buying unwanted operations from groups such as ICI and BP, selecting targets based on their potential to double their earnings over a 5-year period. In 2006 Ineos bought BP's refining and petrochemical arm, which brought the Grangemouth refinery into Ineos' control.

In 2008, "The Times" said “He lists skiing and garden tractors among his interests.”
