Revision as of 01:33, 19 November 2005
Slavica Ecclestone (born in 1958 in Croatia) is a former model and is the wife of Formula 1 racing magnate Bernie Ecclestone.
Born Slavica Malic, she worked as an international fashion model, modelling for a number of leading clients including designer Armani. While working on a Formula 1 promotional event in 1984 she met Bernie Ecclestone (although she did not realise who he was, and gave him a fake phone number). Bernie pursued Slavica doggedly, undaunted by the 28 year age difference between the two, by the language barrier (she spoke Croatian and Italian, he English), and by the difference in their heights (at 6 feet 2 inches, 1.88m, Slavica was nearly a foot taller than her suitor).
The couple have two daughters, Tamara (born 1986) and Petra (born 1990).
A complex system of companies places much of the Ecclestone's wealth in Slavica's name, with much of his Formula 1 related property owned by a Jersey based holding company (named SLEC, for SLavica ECclestone), of which Slavica (and not Bernie) is the major stockholder. Slavica Ecclestone also owns her own promotion company.
