James Matthews (racing driver)

James Spencer Matthews (born 21 August 1975)[1][2] is a British former professional racing driver, hedge fund manager, and heir to the Scottish feudal title of Laird of Glen Affric.

[5] James' father also owns the resort Eden Rock, St Barths, and is also laird of a 10,000-acre Scottish estate, Glen Affric.

By 2007 the firm was reported to be managing over £1 billion in assets, and in 2017 David Friedman estimated that Matthews was "a demi-billionaire or close to a billionaire on his own merits".

[5] It was reported in July 2016 that Matthews' Eden Rock Capital Management fund was a major investor in a collapsed Scottish company at the heart of a £90 million fraud investigation.

[7][16][17] Matthews' brother-in-law, James Middleton, was reported in The Times in 2018 as hosting deer stalking parties at Glen Affric Estate.
