Bernie Ecclestone was born in Bangi Suffolk, England in 1930. His father was a fisherman and his mother was a full-time housewife. His family was poor when he was a child, so Bernie was in When he was in school, he also did odd jobs to earn money, delivering newspapers and picking vegetables. He had done all the work.
At the age of 15, Bernie was introduced to participate in a motorcycle race. This was also the beginning of his racing career. A car accident during a race caused him to temporarily leave the track and focus on motorcycle parts. Reselling. At the beginning, he only worked as a sideline, but in a short period of time, the income from this sideline surpassed his main job.

◆From a failed racer to the F1 empire
Although the business has begun to emerge, But Bernie always wanted to be a racer.
The time came in 1957. At that time, he exerted his "money ability" and bought a team that had been on the verge of bankruptcy. While serving as the racing manager of driver Evans, he also played on the field. But the final result was horrible, and even more unfortunately, Evans died in a race because of an engine explosion, and Bernie, who was hit, hurriedly bid farewell to the circuit.

Although he can’t be a driver, Bernie’s level of business is still leveraged. In the 1960s, he achieved considerable success in the real estate and financial industries. After accumulating a certain amount of capital, he returned to the racing circle.
This time, as a manager, he signed the popular driver Jochen Lint, a very business-minded Bernie. Not only did he get the first commercial sponsorship in F1 history, he also made Lint’s helmet. Into an advertising space to openly attract investment, this operation was almost 6 years ago66.
But the good times did not last long. In the qualifying session of the Italian Grand Prix in 1970, Lint died in an accident and even became the only one who became the F1 world champion after his death. Rider. Bernie was hit again and decided not to be a manager again.
Later, he acquired the Brabham team and successfully re-emerged the team. He also accumulated a lot of prestige and became the chairman of FOCA. This organization is responsible for the management and promotion of F1 events, coordinating the interests of various teams, and fighting on behalf of members Rights, Bernie's future F1 empire also started. In the years after
, Bernie reintegrated a loose F1 market. The first is to hold the power of negotiating with sponsors into his own hands. He guarantees the prize money of the race winners, but the team also has to transfer the right to find sponsors; second is the establishment of rules. After signing a contract, with enough teams and events, Bernie also has a bargaining chip when negotiating with sponsors.
Bernie, who concentrated his power, later moved out of the big cake of commercialization of television broadcasting rights. At his peak, almost every game attracted 200,000 car fans to the scene. At least 1 billion people watched off the field through TV broadcasts and other forms, creating and helping star drivers such as "Car King" Schumacher. To be among the highest paid athletes.
And F1 has also been made by Bernie one of the most popular sports events in the world, and it is called "the world's three major sports events" together with the Olympic Games and the World Cup. Last year, the fan was invited by Pirelli and watched it on the spot. The race in F1 Shanghai really made the adrenaline soar.
The team and the track are not only billboards, F1 is also a huge industry, and from organizing events to equipment transportation, from marketing and promotion to TV broadcasting, all are under Bernie’s control under. In 2000, the FIA even granted Bernie the exclusive commercial rights to this event for more than 100 years.

Every time two people stand together, they staged the "most adorable height difference". The supermodel wife suppressed Bernie in various ways, and the father looked extraordinarily "little bird" beside him. So the media ridiculed: When Bernie stood by hisWhen they were on the wallet, they were actually about the same height. However, Bernie also transferred a huge amount of his offshore account to his wife's name in order to avoid taxes.
The couple have two daughters Tamara and Petra. Since their birth, the two babies have been in good condition and have no worries about food and clothing. They have developed a luxurious lifestyle since they were young. Tamara once complained that her private jet did not have a bathroom, and why her mother just drove her in an Audi. Going to school...
Bernie really loves his two daughters. It is reported that he once spent 110 million pounds to buy a house for his two daughters in West London, and also named his luxury cruise ship worth 35 million US dollars by their names.

It can be said that the divorce is sky-high. Interestingly, Helen Ward, the lawyer involved in this divorce case, was the lawyer of the chief in the Dubai Princess divorce case not long ago.
◆In his old age, his old house caught fire, and he became a spoiled wife mad.
After the divorce, Bernie once said that he would never get married for the rest of his life. But not long after these words were said, Bernie fell in love with his current wife Fabiana Frost, "The Law of True Fragrance", as expected, no one can escape.
Fabiana is from Brazil. She used to be a lawyer. She met Bernie at the Brazilian Grand Prix. At the time, she was the deputy director of the marketing department. Fabiana is also much taller than Bernie, and is 46 years younger than him. It is said that Bernie fell in love with the young and beautiful Fabiana at first sight and immediately launched a fierce pursuit.
In 2012, two people walked into the marriage palace. According to reports, Bernie presented a diamond ring worth $160,000 to propose to Fabiana, which was held in a Swiss mansion.

伯尼 is worth 3.1 billion US dollars, and he is very generous to his wife and daughter. He also has a lot of private yachts. He used to have a mansion near Kensington Palace, but he sold it after the divorce.
But Bernie’s life is not so extravagant. He usually wears a white shirt wherever he goes.
There are also reports that when Bernie was 82 years old, he worked five days a week and lived in an apartment near the office opposite Hyde Park. I lived directly in the bus when I was supervising the battle in F1, but it is expensive to build a bus, about 2 million US dollars.
He seldom buys something without discount, and he does not approve of the lifestyle of his daughters, because it is too extravagant.
For example, Tamara recorded her own reality show before, showing her luxury house worth 45 million pounds and brand-name bags and shoes worth 5 million pounds, including 4000 Chanel.
and the second daughter Petra bought a 56,000-square-foot house in Hollywood worth £56 million, with a pool garden and super luxurious interior.

is a well-known rich man. The Bernie family has been spotted by thieves.
Last year the eldest daughter Tamara was robbed and a pile of jewelry was stolen, worth about 50 million pounds, which is more expensive than the house she lived in, including this giant nail bracelet worth 80,000 pounds, Bernie At the time, it was said that it might be caused by insiders.
Although Tamara was stolen, but fortunately not injured, Bernie was not so lucky.
In 2010, he was robbed in his London office. It is reported that four men broke in and stole jewelry worth 200,000 pounds, including the father's Hublot watch. At the same time, they also punched and kicked Bernie and suffered serious injuries...
But Bernie is not a vegetarian. He could have calmed down the matter, but he contacted Hublot, one of the sponsors of F1, and used this injured face to start an advertisement. The slogan is : See what people will do for a Hublot (people can do everything for Hublot). Sure enough, for Bernie, everything can be commercialized. I don't know if this wave of advertising fees has made up for the money stolen.
also joked about the robbery: "Because Christmas is coming recently, some people with no money want to give some gifts to the children. I can understand that people want to rob me, but it is really unnecessary."
