Biography
Little is publicly documented about Connor’s early life. He earned a bachelor’s degree in economics from Williams College in Massachusetts. He was previously married to a woman named Patricia; they divorced in January 2023, and he is the father of three children.
Career
He worked in investment banking at Morgan Stanley and Barclays early in his career, and has served on corporate boards including Frontier Airlines and Copa Holdings. He founded his own investment firm, Connor Capital SB. He is currently a managing director and co-portfolio manager of Oaktree Capital Management’s infrastructure investing strategy. His public profile rose through his relationship with Christine Baumgartner. The two were first linked romantically in July 2023, confirmed the relationship publicly in early 2024. On January 26, 2025, Connor proposed during a beach dinner in Santa Barbara, and the couple married on October 18, 2025, at the Santa Ynez Ranch in Santa Barbara, California, in front of around 100 guests. Like Smokey Robinson — another figure whose late-career headlines briefly overshadowed decades of professional work — Connor’s fame is borrowed from proximity to celebrity.
Finances
No reliable public estimate of Josh Connor’s net worth exists. He has never disclosed his finances, and no reputable financial publication has ever profiled his wealth. What circulates instead is a case study in how content farms manufacture numbers: one site claims $250 million (with a biography confusing him with an actor — “parents John and Sarah Connor,” fictional Terminator characters); another claims $1.2–1.8 billion; a third puts him at $1.46 million. None of these figures cites a source, a filing, or an on-record estimate — because none exists. Until a credible outlet reports a figure, the honest answer is that we do not know.
