Who is Petra Ecclestone? Well if you do not know her name now...you will. She is the 22 year old daughter of Bernie Ecclestone and super model Slavica and a men's fashion designer. Bernie of course if basically the owner of Formula 1 racing and he is a true billionaire worth about $4 billion. Petra makes all other heiresses that you see and hear about look like frauds. She spends lots of money and she has no remorse. Earlier this year her father bought a $91 million dollar house in London for her and her fiance. Apparently she said it was for her 5 dogs. Now her father has bought her the most expensive home in the U.S. That is right he bought her the 57,000 square foot Spelling Manor, the largest home in L.A. County. The price tag was $150 million and she did not lower the price though it was suggested many times. It has been said that Petra actually wanted the 40,0000 Fleur de Lys home up the block, but the deal did not go through for some reason. Is she spoiled? That is an understatement. This is her L.A. home, so maybe she will not even live there, her father bought a home and never lived in it, then sold it to another billionaire for a record sum of cash. If she does choose to live there the she will instantly become a celebrity like Paris Hilton and other "famous" heiresses have. This purchase just shows me that the world's economy may not be as bad as the U.S. economy. Billionaires are willing to spend big bucks on homes and yachts again, but I am not seeing it so much in the U.S. Still I am giving Petra Ecclestone a Digit Up for making a big splash in the U.S. with the purchase of a home.
