James Cox "Fergie" Chambers Jr. (born c. 1985) Is an American communist political activist and former heir to the Cox family, which derives its wealth from Cox Enterprises. Chambers owned a portion of Cox Enterprises until separating from the company in 2023, resulting in a payout estimated by Rolling Stone of at least $250 million.
Chambers is the central subject of All About the Money, a 2026 documentary film directed by Irish filmmaker Sinéad O'Shea, which follows his activism and the establishment of a communist collective in Massachusetts, along with his subsequent relocation to Tunisia and Ireland. The film premiered in the World Cinema Documentary Competition of the 2026 Sundance Film Festival.
In July 2026, Chambers was arrested in Ibiza, Spain, and ordered held without bail pursuant to a sealed extradition request from the United States Department of Justice relating to his financial support for Palestinian causes; his family, his legal team, and left-wing politicians in Spain and Ireland described the action as politically motivated. As of mid-July 2026, Chambers remained in custody in Spain pending the outcome of extradition proceedings.
