On the track and in the snow, the Stroll household has got it all covered. As driver readies himself for this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix – the first race of the 2025 campaign – his brother-in-law Scotty James is gearing up for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy.
While the Stroll family has been bankrolled by billionaire businessman, Aston Martin F1 team owner and executive chairman of Aston Martin, Lawrence Stroll – whose net worth is estimated to be just over £3billion ($3.9bn) – both Lance and his sister, Chloe, have also made a name for themselves. The latter is a popular singer and songwriter in Canada, who is also widely streamed on platforms like Spotify. Despite the mega fan-bases of both Lance and Chloe, one of the most popular people within the Stroll household may be the man who married into the family, James. While his wealth is far away from matching that of the Stroll clan, James is certainly not a pauper.

In 2023, it was estimated that James’ net worth was around £6.2m ($8m) as a result of his winnings from snowboarding and sponsorships with the likes of and Oakley. Things could be about to get even better for James, as he recently won his seventh X Games snowboard halfpipe title in January.
While he is a three-time world champion, a Winter Olympic gold medal continues to evade him. He won bronze in the 2018 PyeongChang games and a silver in Beijing 2022. He is currently preparing for the games in Italy next year, which is a useful destination as he lives in Monaco with Chloe, a stone’s throw from his training centres in Switzerland and the French Alps.

When asked how the couple met during an interview with , Chloe said: “Lance actually called me and said, ‘I think I just found the guy you’re going to marry’. It was kind of strange. I had a conference in Park City [Utah], which was where his next competition was the same weekend and a lot of random things happened.
“Scotty was very cute. We dated for about four months, or as he likes to say, we got to know each other, before he officially asked me to be his girlfriend.”
Offering his side of the story as well, James kept it brief and added: “[I] went out to dinner with her at a place called Motel Morris in and the rest is history.”
After getting engaged in November 2021, the pair went on to marry in a lavish cereemony held in Italy. Their guest list was extraordinary, with the likes of Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Sarah, Duchess of York included. F1 cult icon was also a groomsman for the ceremony.
One year after they tied the knot, Stroll – whose own net worth is believed to be around £38m ($50m), while also being the heir to his dad’s fortune worth billions – revealed to the world that they were expecting their first child, Leo Henry James.
While James is best known for his snowboarding skills, he is also a dab hand in other industries. As well as trying to establish himself as an entrepreneur and investor, he is also a social media content creator and a published children’s book author. In August 2024, he published his first book ‘MOOKi vs The Big Scary’ which was quickly followed by the sequel ‘Mooki vs The Terrible Toys’. The title is inspired by his childhood nickname ‘Mooki’, which he describes as his ‘alter-ego’.
