Jim Pattison Owns Guinness World Records

Jim Pattison is probably BC's most famous entrepreneur, but he's really starting to spread his wings outside of grocery stores and automobiles. The Jim Pattison Group already owns Ripley Entertainment, which holds the rights to develop and operate Guinness World Records museums and attractions around the world. And now, the Jim Pattison Group also owns Guinness World Records.

Jim Pattison Entertainment, the Vancouver billionaire's holding company, purchased the famous marque from HIT Entertainment for an undisclosed amount of money. By combining Guinness World Records with Ripley Entertainment, Jim Pattison Jr. said that this will create "an historic combination of the world-leading authorities on records and record-breaking, and all that is unbelievable."

Guinness World Records is now owned by Jimmy Pattison. Believe it.
