Vanneck was the eldest son of Sir Joshua Vanneck, 1st Baronet, and his wife, Mary Anne Daubuz. His father was a successful London merchant who had emigrated to Great Britain from the Netherlands in 1722.[2]

He was elected to the House of Commons for Dunwich in 1768, a seat he held until 1790. In 1777 he succeeded his father as second Baronet and promptly commissioned the building of Heveningham Hall in Suffolk.[2]

Vanneck died, unmarried, in May 1791 and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his younger brother Joshua, who was elevated to the peerage as Baron Huntingfield in 1796.[2]
