The common characteristic of all lipidsare that they are hydrophobic, so they are insoluble in polar solvents, such as water. They are, however, soluble in at least one non-polar organic solvent. The reason they are hydrophobic is that their molecules have long hydrocarbon chains with 16 to 18 carbon atoms.
