Petra Ecclestone’s Has The Midas Touch

Looks are definitely not definitely deceiving when it comes to billionaire heiress Petra Ecclestone. The 22 year-old who recently tied the knot in an affair to remember last month in Los Angeles, is the daughter of Bernie Ecclestone of Formula 1 racing fame. Her ascent onto American soil was anointed with her purchase of the museum-like property she purchased as her home, which turned out to be TV legend Aaron Spelling’s 100-room mansion. She forked around $85 to own it. Not bad for a first home! That definitely solidifies her as the official rival of all LA socialites on the scene including Paris Hilton, whose popularity as of late as been waning thanks to her now defunct reality TV show. The lithe blonde with the hungry eyes is now setting her sights on the fashion world and has launched her own accessories label – Stark. The line features handbags made from the very best and expensive materials available. From alligator skin to python skin, the collection is not lacking in sophstication or bling. Most of the bags sport that irresistble adornment of Swarovski cystals and gold studs which explains the reason why the price points hover around $495 and up. This is actually not Ecclestone’s first foray into design, she had previously launched a menswear line that was showcased at Harrod’s but scrapped last year.

She seems poised to make a name for herself through her business ventures and not her eager good looks. Perhaps she can prove that being born with a silver spoon can make evverything you touch turn to gold.
