Joe Lewis (born February 5, 1937 in East London) is an English businessman who currently lives in Lyford Cay, Bahamas, and also owns estates in Florida and Argentina. He has been married twice, and has two children from his first marriage. Lewis left school at 15 to help run his father's West End catering business Tavistock Banqueting, starting out as a waiter. When he took the reins he quickly expanded it by selling luxury goods to American tourists before selling it in 1979, which made him his initial wealth. He later moved into currency trading in the 1980s and 1990s resulting in his move to the Bahamas where he is now a tax exile.
