James Cox Chambers and his siblings, Margaretta Taylor and Katharine Rayner, are heirs to the Cox family fortune. Their grandfather, James M. Cox, founded what has become Cox Enterprises, an automotive and media conglomerate. They split a 50% stake in the business, which they received from their 96-year-old mother, Anne Cox Chambers, in an asset shuffling that became public in 2015. Neither Anne nor her children have ever had an active role at the firm, which includes such brands as Autotrader.com and publications like The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The company is still entirely owned by the Cox family. James’ cousin, fellow billionaire Jim Kennedy, is its chairman. James is a Bard College trustee and alum, an amateur filmmaker and owner of an organic farm in the Hudson Valley.
James Chambers is an American billionaire who has an estimated net worth of $5.86 billion as of March 2017, according to Bloomberg.
James Chambers worked as an actor, dancer, and choreographer. He serves as director for Communities in Schools. He is also an organic farmer in Columbia County, New York.
In 2015, Chambers and his siblings Katherine Rayner and Margaretta Taylor received equal stake from their mother, Anne Cox Chambers’ 49% share in Cox Enterprises.
James Cox Chambers was born on April 12, 1957. He graduated from Bard College in 1982.
