"like dissolve like", as the lipids are non-polar substance so they cannot soluble in polar solvent (inorganic solvent), that is the reason lipids only soluble in organic solvents. examples- Benzene solution.
fatty-acid(long chain) $+$ Alcohol $\to$ Lipid.
Fatty acid and alcohol form the ester bond to make the lipid that's why lipids have relationships to fatt acids and esters.
