| pacomartin Member since: Jan 14, 2010 Threads: 547 Posts: 6208 |  Petra Ecclestone, age 22, pictured with her parents (her father is in his 80's), just bought a second home in the USA. The home in London she bought for almost $100 million only 6 months ago. For her USA home she decided to upsize a little, and bought the most expensive home ever sold in USA history. The Spelling mansion was listed for $150 million for several years. It is not known what she paid for the 55K square footage house, but it was undoubtedly higher than the recent record of $100million for a home built in America.   Her father is rumored to be in financial trouble. Wine loved I deeply, dice dearly -Edgar, betrayed son of Gloucester in King Lear |

| EvenBob Member since: Jul 18, 2010 Threads: 231 Posts: 6403 | The father looks awfully tall, is he wearing lifts? Seriously, why does anybody need a house that large? I knew a guy in the 90's who had a huge collection of antiques in his 12,000 sq ft home. It was like a museum. He had things roped off and in showcases. His living quarters were off the kitchen in a 10' by 10' room, that had a recliner and TV set. He'd eat dinner in the recliner and then recline it back and sleep there all night. Its like a movie that Cary Grant made, where he and his family lived in a giant English castle, but only used a few rooms in the back to actually live in. Huge residences baffle me, whats the point.

The real extravagance for these men seems to be their wives. Peter Ecclestone is now age 80, and his divorce cost him over a billion dollars. Steve Wynn lost a billion to his wife in the divorce, but they met in high school and were married twice. They truly qualify as life partners. But, yes if you are age 22 and you own two homes in the $100 million dollar range, one of which has over an acre of square footage, what do you purchase at age 50? Most 22 year olds, especially the ultra rich aspire to something a little more mobile.
Speaking of Cary Grant, Sweden is selling a 42' motorboat that sleeps four, is capable of going from Miami to Nassau in as little as 4 hours, and looks like a boat from the era of Cary Grant. In the price range of $1 million it is for the multi millionaire who likes looking good.  Thanks for reminding me, I feel like watching that movie again.

She just got engaged to a guy she's been living with for several years, James Stunt. He drives a Lamborghini, and Princess Beatrice popped in for the engagement party.  Wine loved I deeply, dice dearly -Edgar, betrayed son of Gloucester in King Lear |

| DJTeddyBear Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 105 Posts: 5727 | I was about to ask, "Who?...." OK. I just did some research. I still don't know who she is, how she got her money, or why she's getting media attention, or why anyone cares. For what it's worth, I don't care to get an answer.

But how much does it cost to knock on wood? |

Anderson Cooper put her on his ridiculist. Why does a 22 year old need a 56000 square foot second home? She certainly bought herself a reality TV show. Wine loved I deeply, dice dearly -Edgar, betrayed son of Gloucester in King Lear |
