Blair Parry-Okeden is an American billionaire heiress whose colossal fortune is derived from her inherited stake in Cox Enterprises, a massive, privately held conglomerate spanning media, communications, and automotive services. She is the granddaughter of James M. Cox, who founded the company in 1898.

Blair's mother was the late Anne Cox Chambers (d. 2020), one of the three children of the founder, and a prominent media figure and diplomat. Blair and her siblings, James Cox Chambers, Katharine Rayner, and Margaretta Taylor, each inherited an estimated 17 percent stake in Cox Enterprises. Her upbringing was characterized by immense privilege but also a distinct distance from the corporate core. She attended Bard College, graduating with a degree in liberal arts.

Blair Parry-Okeden’s career is defined by her role as a major passive shareholder and generational steward of the Cox fortune. Unlike many heirs who seek executive roles, neither Blair nor her siblings have ever had an active operational role in Cox Enterprises. The company's leadership is managed by her cousin, Jim Kennedy (Chairman Emeritus), and his son Alex Taylor (current CEO and Chairman), maintaining the complex, private family control model.

Blair's financial role involves managing her inherited capital and ensuring the long-term stability of the family's assets. Her lifestyle choice is marked by a deep commitment to extreme privacy; she has historically resided on a large ranch in Scone, Australia (a small town in rural New South Wales), where she focused on farming, before reportedly moving to the United States. Her refusal of the media spotlight, despite her immense wealth, makes her one of the most famously reclusive billionaires in the world.

Blair Parry-Okeden’s philanthropy is primarily channeled through the family’s foundations, often supporting arts, education, and environmental causes in the communities where Cox Enterprises operates. Her family's foundations are large and influential, driving significant civic improvement.

Her structural social impact is the continued stability of Cox Enterprises, which is a massive employer and a foundational provider of essential communications and automotive services across the United States. Her commitment to privacy and her choice of a rural lifestyle (while in Australia) reflect a dedication to values outside of urban, high-society spectacle.

Blair Parry-Okeden's style is defined by extreme privacy and an anti-glamour aesthetic. Her attire, when seen in public, is typically understated, high-quality casual wear, reflecting her preference for life outside the metropolitan spotlight. Her clothing choices reflect her background in ranching and her desire to remain entirely anonymous.

Her luxury is the financial security to live a life of complete discretion, away from the media and corporate scrutiny. Her former life on a massive ranch in rural Australia and her reported residence in Palisades, New York, reflect a lifestyle of immense, private wealth, where the greatest indulgence is the protection of her personal space and time.
