Petra Ecclestone was born on 17 December 1988 in Westminster, London UK, of English (father) and Croatian (mother) ancestry. Petra, also known under her married name of Stunt, is a famous fashion designer, mostly of male clothing.
So how rich is one of the most popular models, Petra Ecclestone? Sources have estimated that Petra’s net worth is $300 million, her wealth having been accumulated as a star model and also as a fashion designer, and currently, this is the main source of her increasing wealth. However, her father has apparently set-up trusts for both his daughters, which may well put them in the billionaire bracket.
Petra Ecclestone Net Worth $300 Million
Petra’s father is the famous businessman Bernie Ecclestone, an entrepreneur and the executive of Formula 1 motor racing. Petra’s mom is Slavica Ecclestone, known as the Armani model. As with Petra herself and Slavica, Petra`s sister Tamara Ecclestone is also known as a model. Petra was educated at Francis Holland School in London, but did not take-up a university place, instead preferring to follow her instinct into modelling and fashion design.
It is known that Petra Ecclestone’s net worth started growing when she was 19 years old, because of her status as a fashion designer. She has stated that she wanted to have work related to fashion since early childhood. What is unusual, however, is that Petra concentrates on designing men’s clothes, not women’s. Petra has stated that working with menswear is easier for her, and that designing men`s clothes is currently more fast-track and less competitive, thereby adding to her net worth more quickly. Her first menswear line was called Form, launched in 2008, and although this line existed for a relatively short period, it was sold in such reputable outlets as Harrods. Petra did not give up, and subsequently signed a contract in 2009 with the Croatian clothing manufacturer Siscia, making her net worth continue to grow from the fashion industry. In 2011, Petra established an accessories line called Stark, which has been moderately successful.
As for her personal life, Petra Ecclestone married British billionaire businessman James Stunt in 2011 at Odescalchi Castle near Rome, in a ceremony reputed to have cost £12 million, including a dress valued at £80,000. In February 2013 the couple welcomed a child, and Petra is reported to be expecting a second. The family live in a luxurious mansion, The Manor, located in Holmby Hills next to Los Angeles, which Petra apparently bought for $85 million – much of this borrowed from her mother – and the largest one in Los Angeles County since the residential part is 57,000 square feet. However, reports suggest that the property is now up for sale, at an asking price of $120 million.
Petra is able to speak Croatian, French and Italian, as well as English of course. When a teenager, Petra contracted viral meningitis, from which she made a full recovery, but which turned her into something of a hypochondriac. She now contributes to the activities of Meningitis Trust Health Organization.
