John Baker was born in the Borough of Westminster to James and Marie Baker in 1967. James worked as a Banking executive, and Marie stayed home and raised John and his siblings. James owns multiple homes in the UK and a vacation home in Southern France. He provided a good life for John and his siblings, Richard and Katherine. John was close with his older brother Richard and older sister Katherine growing up. James wanted to make sure that his children got the best possible education, and enrolled John in Eton College.
John graduated from Eton College in 1985, he then went to study at Cambridge University to get a degree in Business Administration. While at Cambridge, John was a member of The Cambridge University Conservative Association John graduated with First Honours from Cambridge. John wanted to found his own business then attended London School of Business to get a degree in Management. He would also graduate with First Honours, in 1991.

John and Emma have three children, Scott (6), Anna (4), George (1).
In 1991 John founded Baker Finance, which is a loans, credit card, and mortgages business. The company is located in London and saw a lot of growth in the years. John kept a controlling majority of the company but did get investors in the company to help expand his business throughout the UK. In the 1992 General Election, John took a temporary leave of absence and stood for the seat of Aberavon, after earning his stripes there, John returned to his company.
