Jim Mellon flies to London Stansted the week he touts energy and food tech bets

Jim Mellon flew from his home base at Isle of Man Airport (EGNS) to London Stansted Airport (EGSS) on June 9, a 49-minute hop aboard his Embraer Phenom 300 (M-ELON). The trip comes the same week the billionaire investor is making headlines for a sharply contrarian market call: U.S. stocks are "way overpriced," he told Business Insider in late February, and he is rotating capital into energy, gold, and silver while betting big on cellular agriculture to replace traditional meat and dairy. Per [Business Insider Africa](https://africa.businessinsider.com/news/billionaire-investor-jim-mellon-says-us-stocks-are-way-overpriced-food-needs-a/vc19qw7), Mellon also argued the energy sector is "probably the best place to invest right now" because AI data centers are straining electric grids.

Mellon, executive chairman of Agronomics and author of *Moo's Law*, is determined to transform global food systems. In a recent podcast, he revealed that his company Clean Food Group holds nearly 20-year patents on precision-fermentation processes for palm oil, cocoa butter, and olive oil, and expects to take the firm public by year-end. The London area, where he frequently flies (recent trips to Stansted and Farnborough), serves as a hub for investor meetings and media appearances tied to these ventures.

The flight to Stansted follows a pattern of short hops from the Isle of Man to London-area airports — four such trips in the past week alone — consistent with Mellon's role chairing Burnbrae Group and advancing his portfolio in biotech, energy, and novel proteins. The destination suggests another round of meetings with institutional partners or journalists covering his campaign to remake what the world eats.
