Jeremy Hosking

Jeremy John Hosking (born 20 July 1958) is a British businessman and political donor. Ranked number 351 in the Sunday Times Rich List, with a net worth of £375 million, he is a shareholder in Crystal Palace and a noted railway enthusiast. He has donated heavily to the Reclaim Party, notably being the sole donor in the 2023 financial year.

Hosking was educated at Rugby School and St Catharine's College, Cambridge, where he studied geography. After graduating in 1979, he was a director and portfolio manager with GT Capital Management, dealing in southeast Asian investments.

Hosking was a founding shareholder in Marathon Asset Management, established in 1986. In 2012, Hosking set up Dublin-listed asset manager Hosking & Co. Marathon Asset Management accused Hosking of breaching contractual and fiduciary duties while working there because he discussed plans for a new business with other employees. In 2015, Hosking was ordered to pay £1.38 million in damages, and a further £10.4 million; half of the profits Hosking received for the period between July and December 2012. Hosking unsuccessfully appealed, arguing profit shares could not be forfeited.

In March 2011, Hosking bought Gravetye Manor, a West Sussex country house hotel, out of administration.

In August 2010, Hosking was part of a four-man consortium that bought Crystal Palace out of administration. On 18 December 2015, it was announced that American investors Josh Harris and David Blitzer had bought a major share holding in the club. Whilst Steve Parish continued as chairman alongside Harris and Blitzer, fellow CPFC 2010 investors Browett, Long and Hosking each retained a reduced 8% investment.

The Guardian reported that Hosking held over £100 million in investments in fossil fuels in 2024.

Hosking was ranked number 351 in the Sunday Times Rich List, with a net worth of £375 million.

Hosking is a noted railway enthusiast, having purchased a number of main-line steam locomotives including 4464 Bittern, 6024 King Edward I, 6100 Royal Scot, 60532 Blue Peter and 70000 Britannia and founded the Royal Scot Locomotive and General Trust.
