Revision as of 00:14, 16 January 2006 by 213.47.224.53 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Slavica Ecclestone (born in 1958 in Croatia, of Serbian origin) is a former model and is the wife of Formula 1 racing magnate Bernie Ecclestone.
Born Slavica Radic, she 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 Serbo-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.
