Despite belonging to a poor family background, Mercy got a chance to enjoy a lavish life. Ever since she came to Madonna‘s life, James is living a rich lifestyle. She is still young and she doesn’t make money for now. While, on the other hand, her mother has earned a massive fortune from her successful career. Her celebrity mom is an American best-selling recording musical artist and entertainer.

Jame has another brother name David and sisters, Esther and Stella.

“And when I held each of them in my arms, I whispered in their ears, that I would look after them. And I promised them that they would grow up into strong and healthy adults.”
