Petra Ecclestone Marries in lavish style

 

Petra Ecclestone is one of two heiresses to the Formula 1 empire.  Worth billions, she has never shied away from displays iof excess.  If you recall, in 2011 she bought Spelling Manor for $85 million and by all accounts never even lived in it.

Petra tied the knot this weekend with beau Sam Palmer in London. The nuptials came just days after dad Bernie created a national scandal when he was charged with fraud.

The glam event took place at Sloane House, Eccelstone’s $203 million 18th century mansion in the Chelsea neighborhood.

Indie rock band Razorlight performed and there was also a string quartet. Petra’s sister, Tamara Ecclestone, gave a toast.

Palmer posted a picture of a gift from his new wife on Instagram, West Ham’s winning 1980 FA Cup, saying, “It has to go down as the greatest wedding gift of all time.”
