Bernie Ecclestone
(Mark Robinson)


RESULTS FOR 2009
Ranking: 24
Worth: £1,466m
Down: £934m
Source of wealth: Motor racing

Newly single Ecclestone, 78, has concluded an amicable divorce from his Croatian-born wife, Slavica (see panel, page 29). The big problem for Ecclestone has been trying to preserve his wealth because much of the £2.3 billion fortune he accumulated as the supremo of Formula One motor sports was held in offshore trusts in Slavica's name. F1 is almost Ecclestone's creation and he has made his fortune from television rights and spin-offs. A bond issue in 1999 and the sale of 75% of the business to the German media operation Kirch in 2000 netted him £1.9 billion. In 2005, the private equity giant CVC bought F1. Ecclestone is now a minority shareholder in Alpha Prema, which owns F1, but he remains as chief executive. The Ecclestones were worth about £2.2 billion and we ascribe two-thirds to Bernie.

So he's a financial genius because his fortune is shrinking more slowly than others

He's far too poor to be running our club.

Did I say running?

I meant ruining, obviously.
