snoop1130 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Jewellery worth $64 million stolen from UK's Tamara Ecclestone - Sun FILE PHOTO: Tamara Ecclestone, daughter of Formula One commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone, holds her daughter Sophia as they arrive at the paddock before the Monaco F1 Grand Prix May 24, 2015. REUTERS/Max Rossi LONDON (Reuters) - Tamara Ecclestone, the daughter of former Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone, has had 50 million pounds ($64 million)-worth of jewellery stolen from her home in West London, the Sun newspaper reported on Monday. The tabloid said three burglars broke into the 35-year-old’s mansion having evaded both the 24-hour security teams that patrol the street known as “Billionaire Row” and Ecclestone’s own internal security operations. The second daughter of Formula One’s former commercial supremo lives on Kensington Palace Gardens, amongst the residencies of the French and Russian ambassadors and close to the Kensington Palace home of Britain’s Prince William and his wife Kate. Ecclestone, a model and celebrity in Britain, had just left the country for her Christmas holidays when the burglars entered the property via the garden and seized gems from safes hidden in her bedroom, the Sun said. A source close to the family confirmed a burglary had taken place but declined to give any more details. A spokeswoman for the Metropolitan police said they would not confirm any specific details but, when asked about the case, said police had been called to a residential property in west London just after 2300 on Friday night to reports of a burglary. “Officers attended,” the spokeswoman said. “It was reported that an amount of high value jewellery had been stolen. There have been no arrests. Inquiries continue.” -- © Copyright Reuters 2019-12-16 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaiyen Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 If that is just the value of her jewellery that was stolen, how much must Bernie be worth ?? Disgustingly rich and I have never heard a story about him putting any of his money into supporting car racing in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRich Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Bernie thinks it was an inside job, and he’s probably right. Insurance investigators will be all over this. I’d be amazed if these guys aren’t caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAMHERE Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I'm sure I recently read about some jewels being stolen from a museum. If you have a huge (semi-huge) jewelry collection watch it closely is my advice to all hugely rich folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I never understood the compulsion to take your wealth and convert it to useless shiny bits that can be taken or destroyed in a moment. But if you have too much money I guess it gets complicated. Though I haven't had to worry about that so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, I could be wrong about that, seeing as how we are not quite on the same social scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they can now make them in the laboratories for useful purposes in industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi49jr Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Whoever owns 64 million dollars worth of jewelry (and lives in a 90 million dollar house, by the way, as this poor little rich girl does) deserves to be fleeced once in a while, as far as I’m concerned. Obscene wealth like that is just wrong on so many levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notrub Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 They are in the same 'boat' as 'Sir' Philip Green who robbed BHS pension fund in the UK to buy his 3rd 100M+ GBP yacht (175M for this last one). Such greed and disregard for any but themselves is disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zydeco Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 The obvious lesson here is that if somebody is so disgustingly rich that she can be careless enough to leave 64 million in diamonds lying around house, then that person needs to be paying a lot more in taxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
