She was born Slavica Radic in 1958 in Rijeka Croatia by Serbian parents and worked as an international Fashion Model , modelling for a number of leading clients, including designer Armani . While working on a Formula One promotional event in 1984 , she met Bernie Ecclestone (although she did not realise who he was, and gave him a fake phone number). Bernie pursued Slavica doggedly, undaunted by the 28 year age difference between the two, by the language barrier (she spoke Croatian and Italian , he only spoke English ), and by the difference in their heights (at 6 feet 2 inches, 1.88 M , Slavica was nearly a foot taller than her suitor). The couple have two daughters, Tamara (born 1986 ) and Petra (born 1990 ). A complex system of companies places much of the Ecclestone's wealth in Slavica's name, with much of his Formula 1 related property owned by a Jersey based holding company (named SLEC, for ''SL''avica ''EC''clestone), of which Slavica (and not Bernie) is the major stockholder. Slavica Ecclestone also owns her own promotion company. |
