Looked up Ineos

Not attaching a value, I just didn't know what business the sponsor was in, just that it had to take deep pockets to sponsor Sky.

From Wikipedia:

privately owned UK multinational chemicals company headquartered in London, UK,

It is the top chemicals company in the world as measured by sales revenue currently around $90 billion.

The name Ineos is derived from Inspec Ethylene Oxide Specialities, a previous name of the business.

The company grew quickly through the acquisition of commodity chemical businesses from corporate giants such as BP, ICI and BASF.

i'm guessing head-honcho/founder Jim Ratcliffe is a big-time cycling enthusiast and just funded the team himself -- basically a british Oleg Tinkov.
