Bernie Ecclestone’s property portfolio
Ecclestone boasts a staggering property portfolio empire. The 92-year-old used to own a home in Kensington Park Gardens that overlooked the palace Harry and Meghan Markle lived in.
He reportedly sold the property for a whopping £57m when his ex-wife, Slavica Radic reportedly refused to move in.
Ecclestone also had an apartment in Knightsbridge – which was situated above the old F1 offices in Princes Gate.
In 2017, he decided to relocate to Switzerland after Liberty Manor took control of the group.
He currently lives in a chalet called ‘Le Lion’ – which is worth £23m. It is located in the resort town of Gstaad.
It has been in the family name for over 20 years and it is where Bernie and Fabiana married in a private ceremony in 2012.
The former F1 boss also owns a luxurious alpine retreat named ‘Hotel Olden.’ It’s a four star hotel which is rated one of the best in the town.

Yacht collection
He also owns a £30m yacht which he named after his daughter Petra. The Petara can accommodate 12 guests, has a spacious contemporary interior and boasts a cruise speed of 16 knots.
In 2022, Eccleston added another yacht to his whopping collection. The 63 metre Force Blue was bought for £6.6m – despite it being valued at around £17.5m.
It features a spa, gym and a Jacuzzi to relax in as well as a cinema and a nightclub.

Coffee plantation
The 92-year-old also owns an impressive £8m farm in Brazil that is bigger than Monaco. It is used to create coffee for his own batch called Celerity Coffee.
More than 30 people work on the farm – which has 600 cows and cattle, 18 horses, six ponies, eight dogs and several dozens of chickens and swans.
It is believed that staff live in one of the 22 homes built on a field the size of an 11 aside football pitch.
The farm was abandoned before the Ecclestone family took over.
‘I’ve been in Brazil along 45 years and I’ve made a lot of friends. I’ve had really happy times around here,’ Ecclestone once told Sprudge.
Bernie’s wife Fabiana currently manages the brand – while the plan is to go global in hotels and restaurants in the near future.

Tamara Ecclestone’s lavish London mansion
It is fair to say that Ecclestone looks after his children well – with his daughter Tamara living in a lavish £70m mansion – which is complete with a gold bathtub and 50 staff.
She shares the Kensington property with her husband Jay Rutland along with her two children.
The couple bought the property in 2011 for £45m, however, experts estimate that it has since doubled in price.
It boasts 57 rooms in total, with Tamara revealing that the family only really live in the kitchen, living room and the bedroom.
