James Roger Crompton Lupton, Baron Lupton, CBE (born 15 June 1955) is a former Chairman of Greenhill Europe and Co-Treasurer of the Conservative Party, having donated circa £3.3 million to the party.[1]

He was created a life peer taking the title Baron Lupton, of Lovington in the County of Hampshire on 6 October 2015.[2]

He was educated at Sedbergh School and Lincoln College, Oxford.[3] He was previously Deputy Chairman of Baring Brothers International Ltd until the bank collapsed in 1995.[4]

Lupton was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2012 New Year Honours.[5]

In 2016, then prime minister David Cameron re-appointed Lupton to the board of the British Museum for a further four-year term, ending 11 June 2020.[6]

Since July 2019, Lupton has sat in the House of Lords as a non-affiliated peer.[7] However, he reportedly votes with the Conservative party bloc.[8]

He is estimated to be worth £130 million.[9] Lupton is also a member of Brooks's and the London Capital Club.
