Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond novels, was his uncle.
[3] A fourth-generation member of the family, he had been expected to become chairman of Robert Fleming & Co., an asset merchant bank and asset manager, in 2000, but the business was sold to Chase Manhattan Bank for £4.4 billion (then US$7.7 billion).
[7] In 2012, "hard-hit" investments in mining and finance led Fleming to put up for sale two farms bordering his Sarsgrove estate near Chipping Norton, totalling 700 acres and valued in excess of £4 million.
[2] They have twin daughters Hermione "Hum" and Chloe Fleming.
[1][2] The family home is the grade II* listed Dower House, Sarsgrove Wood, Churchill, Oxfordshire.
