F1 heiress Tamara Ecclestone ‘shaken’ by US$64 million jewel theft from ‘Billionaire Row’ home
- Burglars managed to evade 24-hour teams patrolling area as well as British model’s own security officers
- Culprits entered property via garden and smashed open safes hidden in bedroom
Tamara Ecclestone, the daughter of former Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone, has had an estimated £50 million (US$64 million) worth of jewellery stolen in an audacious raid from her West London home.
A spokesman said the 35-year-old had been left “angry and shaken” after the burglars apparently evaded both the 24-hour security teams that patrol the street known as “Billionaire Row” and Ecclestone’s own internal security officers.
The daughter of Formula One’s former commercial supremo lives on Kensington Palace Gardens, among the residences of the French and Russian ambassadors and close to the Kensington Palace home of Prince William and his wife, Kate.
Police said a number of items of jewellery were stolen from a property in West London on Friday night and the suspects had fled the house by the time officers and a dog unit arrived.
The building’s security team had reported seeing three males inside the property.
