Revision as of 23:07, 7 April 2006 by Rpresser (talk | contribs) (rephrasing)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Slavica Ecclestone is a former model and is the wife of Formula 1 racing magnate Bernie Ecclestone.
She was born Slavica Radic in 1958 in Rijeka Croatia, raised in a Roman Catholic family, and worked as an international fashion model, modelling for a number of leading clients, including designer Armani. While working on a Formula One 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 only spoke 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.
