Many people dream about having enough cash to burn. You could use hundred dollar bills to build paper airplanes. You could throw bundles of money on the fire to stay warm. You could go all Scrooge McDuck and swim in a pile of gold coins. Or, if you’re like billionaire heiress Tamara Ecclestone, you can pad your mattress with money and pose for a photo shoot.

Tamara Ecclestone posed for the ever-entertaining and always controversial Tyler Shields in a recent million dollar shoot.

Shields writes on his website:

“Tamara Ecclestone is a Billionaire heiress but there is much more to her than money. She is not only grounded, amazing and smart she also loves A1 steak sauce which is my favorite thing in the world. When we me at the gallery I told her I had a crazy idea and that I wanted her to get a million pounds in cash so we could shoot with it. 24 hours later I was sitting in her bed with her and a million in 50s.”

Tamara’s extraordinary wealth does more for her than just land her the occasional photo shoot. According to the Daily Mail, Ecclestone will also be starring in a new reality series, Billion $$$ Girl. Ecclestone said that she hopes the new series will show the world the “real her” and change the public’s perception that she is just the spoiled daughter of Formula One CEO Bernie Ecclestone.

Tamara said:

“I enjoyed shooting with Tyler as he is so creative and this shoot was so different to anything I have ever done. In my new TV show I am trying to come across as Tamara, rather than Bernie’s daughter, and I believe the shoot with Tyler will make me be seen in that way.”

Do you think the million dollar photo shoot will help Tamara Ecclestone step out of her father’s shadow?

Petra Ecclestone, the daughter of billionaire Formula 1 racing CEO Bernie Ecclestone exchanged vows over the weekend with fiance businessman James Stunt. According to reports the lavish three-day wedding which took place just outside of Rome cost the brides father a cool $5 million.

When considering Petra Ecclestone just dropped $85 million to buy Candy Spelling’s Beverly Hills home that price seems like a drop in the bucket.

So what did Ecclestone get for $5 million?  She started with a $130,000 Vera Wang gown and then partied down with guests as various musical guests performed including Andrea Bocelli, Eric Clapton and the Black Eyed Peas.

Guests at the reception also sipped on Chateau Petrus wine which retails for $6,500 per bottle.

One source told E! Online:

“No one had ever seen anything like it. Everything was done to perfection with no expense spared,” while adding, “It was the wedding of the century fit for a princess!”

Before the wedding started guests were already being pampered at the very upscale hotel Villa Aurelia where they ate caviar and calamari while sipping on Cristal champagne as Alicia Keys performed.

It may have been a high end affair and some people are calling it the “wedding of the decade” but honestly $5 million seems a bit on the cheap side when your dad is worth billions, then again perhaps her $85 million mansion was a wedding gift.

World’s Richest Bride Marries, Petra Ecclestone Drops $5 Million On Wedding is a post from: The Inquisitr

Ecclestone has stated that he wants a Canadian Grand Prix in the press, and the teams are all on board with getting Formula 1 in front of the North American audience, or so the motor racing media would have us believe. But is the $75 million that the Toronto Globe & Mail is reporting as the offer enough to attract the notoriously money-hungry bosses of F1?

The Globe reports that the $75 million deal over five years, offered at a London meeting two weeks ago, was “much less” than a similar offer made last November, which Ecclestone rejected. Bernie must be kicking himself about that particular rejection, because he may be forced to take the lower figure now due to changed economic conditions.

Under the new Concorde Agreement between the teams, they are now agitating for more exposure to markets like North America, so it looks like a deal is inevitable. Ecclestone may have to take a loss on this one.

F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has often been called a nazi, but little did we know that his idolatry went as far as praising Hitler.

In an interview with The Times, Ecclestone said that Hitler was a great dictator that “got things done,” and who’s mistakes were caused by the persuasion of others.

“In a lot of ways, terrible to say this I suppose, but apart from the fact that Hitler got taken away and persuaded to do things that I have no idea whether he wanted to do or not, he was in the way that he could command a lot of people, able to get things done” Ecclestone told the paper.

“In the end he got lost, so he wasn’t a very good dictator because either he had all these things and knew what was going on and insisted, or he just went along with it . . . so either way he wasn’t a dictator.”

Besides the comments being offensive, WWII historians and students know very well that the opposite was true; the fall of the Third Reich was not due to Hitler being persuaded to make bad decisions, but by Hitler imposing his will and ignoring those around him. The list is long (and these are but a few examples): at Stalingrad the General’s on the ground knew that the exposed flanks manned by the minor Axis powers were a great risk, but Hitler ignored advice to reinforce the flanks and Stalingrad was encircled. Over Britain, Hitler ignored the advice of his generals and switched to bombing cities instead of critical defense infrastructure (after the British had bombed Berlin), turning the tide of the Battle of Britain by giving the RAF a break. That decision also resulted in the cancellation of Operation Sealion, the invasion of Britain. Even as Germany switched to the defensive, Hitler ignored time and time again the advice of those around him, causing enormous losses.

The comments should really come as a great surprise though: Ecclestone’s friend and head of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) is a noted fascist, not only because he is the son of Oswald Mosley, the leader of the British Union of Fascists, but because he likes dressing up as a Nazi in sex play. Double bonus: Ecclestone believes Mosley would make a great Prime Minister of Britain.
