For the ice hockey player, see Kevin Maxwell (ice hockey).

Kevin Maxwell (born 1959) is a British businessman, son of Robert Maxwell and brother of Ian Maxwell.[1]

Educated at Oxford University,[1] Maxwell spent most of his working life before 1991 employed by his father. Following the collapse of Robert Maxwell's Mirror Group media empire he became the biggest personal bankrupt in UK history with debts of £406.5 million in 1992. He was later tried and acquitted of fraud arising from his role in his father's companies.[2]

The bankruptcy was lifted three years later, and he was a director of media company Telemonde, which has since failed.[3] He married Pandora in 1984 and they once lived in a manor house in ten acres of land in Oxfordshire. They had six children but separated in 2007. He has since entered into a further arrangement over debts he accrued subsequently. He now lives in Oxford.
