Educated at Oxford University, 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.cite news | url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/1251147.stm | title=Q&A: What does the Maxwell report mean? | publisher=BBC | work=BBC News Online | date=2001-03-30] The bankruptcy was lifted three years later, and he was a director of media company Telemonde, which has since failed.

They had seven children but separated in 2007. He has since entered into a further arrangement over debts he accrued subsequently, which is close to ending.

After his discharge from bankruptcy in 2005, Maxwell went into the property industry where he has been involved in setting up large property deals, including the sale of Earls Court Exhibition Centre and Olympia, and the purchase of Stables Market in Camden Town.Laura Chesters, "The Fixer", "Property Week", 29 August 2008, p. 22-24.] He now lives in Oxford.
