The daughter of world’s fourth richest man in Britain and Formula One racer Bernie Ecclestone, Tamara Ecclestone bought a million dollar crystal bathtub made from a single piece of rock crystal found in the Amazonian rainforest for her $72 million house in London.
Tamara Ecclestone who is not shy of shouting out about her expensive investment said “It’s costing £1 million because I’ve got to reinforce the floor and I’ve had to pay for everyone’s travel and the hauling back and polishing of the crystal. But I spend a lot of time in the bath so it’s worth it.”
This is not the first rock crystal bath tub that has been created, but a similar bath tub made of same Amazon crystal was sold at Salone del Mobile in 2008 to a Russian buyer, who forked out $858,763 for this marvelous piece. The second piece that was not a replica but a unique piece in itself was created for Harrods with a price tag of $790,310. Tamara owns the third piece of its like in the world.
Tamara had sent a team to Amazon to collect crystals to be turned into a bathtub. She and her younger sister Petra Ecclestone are always in news for their wealthy investments. Tamara was spotted at her sister’s extravagant wedding as a maid-of-honor. The whole wedding was an affair of $7.7 million and the reception featured DJ David Guetta, Black Eyed Peas and many other celebrities.
