Tamara Ecclestone: ‘£50m worth’ of jewellery stolen from heiress’
Thieves have reportedly stolen £50m worth of jewellery from the Kensington home of Tamara Ecclestone. The daughter of ex Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone, was left “shaken and angry” after the burglary on Friday. According to The Sun, rings and earrings, a Cartier bangle worth £80,000, which was given to the heiress as a wedding present, were all taken in the raid. The Met Police said no arrests had been made. A spokesman for Ecclestone said: “I can sadly confirm there has been a home invasion. Internal security are co-operating with police in this matter.
“Tamara and family are well but obviously angry and shaken by the incident.” The Met said officers were called to the home in Palace Green, Kensington, shortly after 23:00 GMT. “It was reported that an amount of high value jewellery had been stolen,” a spokesman added. Eccleston bought the 55-room Kensington home in 2011 for £45m, according to Forbes magazine. The 35-year-old also spent millions renovating the property to include an “Amazonian crystal bathtub, a private nightclub, a bowling alley, a subterranean swimming pool, a beauty salon, a dog spa and a car lift”.(BBC)…[+]
