Roderick John Fleming (born 1953) is a British merchant banker and private wealth manager, and the founder of Fleming Family & Partners.
Roddie Fleming is the son of Major Richard Evelyn Fleming, and grandson of Valentine Fleming. Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond novels, was his uncle. [1] His older brother is the Adam Fleming. He was educated at Eton and Oxford University. [2] During his time at Oxford Fleming was a member of the Bullingdon club. [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). [4] In July 2005, The Times wrote "The £4.4bn price tag seemed full at the time. It seems even more generous now". [5] [4]
About 130 family members received over £1.3 billion for their 30% holding, and this money was largely invested through the privately owned family office Fleming Family & Partners (FF&P) which Fleming founded that year. [4] [6] In 2007, he was its largest shareholder. [6]
In 2003, his net worth was estimated at £1.05 billion. [2] In 2008, the Sunday Times estimated his net worth at £1.9 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. [8]
In 1979, Fleming married Diana Wake, daughter of Sir Hereward Wake, 14th Baronet. [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. [9] [1] [10]
