Meet Formula One heiress Tamara Ecclestone, daughter of billionaire Bernie Ecclestone: she’s offering millions for her stolen jewellery – and lives in a mansion near Prince William and Kate Middleton
- After BBC released Who Stole Tamara Ecclestone’s Diamonds?, she shared on Instagram that she’ll give US$7.2 million to anyone who can retrieve her jewels
- She was criticised when she posted a photo of herself breastfeeding daughter Sophia at age 2, and her hubby Jay Rutland was once accused of helping a drug lord
The British socialite is taking a chance by offering a US$7.2 million reward for the return of her jewellery. She made the announcement in a series of Instagram Stories after the release of BBC documentary Who Stole Tamara Ecclestone’s Diamonds?
In 2019, a gang of thieves infiltrated Ecclestone’s London mansion and stole her most prized possessions while she was spending her holidays in Lapland.
While perpetrators Jugoslav Jovanovic, Alessandro Maltese and Alessandro Donati are now jailed and were sentenced by the court to 28 years for the committing the heist, the mastermind and leader, Daniel Vukovic, remains at large and is believed to be hiding in Serbia, British media reported.
Ecclestone will also pay a reward of US$305,000 (£250,000) to informants who can pinpoint Vukovic’s whereabouts to the London police.
It’s safe to say the billionaire heiress’ bounty and her attempt to recover her jewellery has got our interest piqued – but who is she beyond the headlines?
