Bernie’s missus wants out
It’s official. Bernie Ecclestone’s wife, Slavica, has filed for divorce. With Wee Bernie’s fortune estimated to be more than £2bn - much of which is rumoured to be in her name - there’s a good chance that the ex-model will become the wealthiest divorcee of all time. She’ll get more than enough to keep her in fur coats, anyway.
According to a family law expert, Bernie stands to lose up to half of his carefully accumulated cash. Ouch. Should have signed a pre-nup, Bernard.
Perhaps this news explains Bernie’s mood. Speaking about the lack of a formal agreement between his own company and F1 teams, he said: “For two years I’ve had a Concorde Agreement available for them to sign, but the problem is they have so many smart-arses in the teams - doctors, lawyers, masseurs…”
Bernie could use a few smart-arse lawyers right now.
