Follow…

Jim Mellon is a British billionaire investor, author, and philanthropist with a net worth of $1.1 billion, known for his contrarian investment approach across emerging markets, biotech, and uranium. He chairs Burnbrae Group and has written several books on finance and longevity science. A Manx resident, Mellon is one of the Isle of Man's most prominent businessmen and played a key role in establishing the island's aircraft register. His primary aviation base is Ronaldsway Airport on the Isle of Man (EGNS), with frequent flights to London (EGLF Farnborough), Oxford (EGTK), Jersey (EGJJ), Geneva (LSGG), and Dublin (EIDW). Mellon made aviation history by registering the first aircraft on the Isle of Man's M-register in 2007, his Embraer Phenom 300 (M-ELON), which he uses for regular business travel across the UK and Europe.
