Petra Ecclestone – Estimated $200 Million, Holmby Hills

Petra is a British-born heiress, model, fashion designer, and socialite. If you’ve been following her closely, you might notice that the celebrity is very health conscious. Reportedly, this stemmed from a childhood experience of contracting a viral disease— and it seems like her mindfulness in health has eventually evolved to business. When Petra was growing up, she had always wanted to be a fashion designer. Unlike others who pursued women’s wear, the designer opted for men’s clothing, thinking that fashion for women was already saturated.

This decision pointed to her to make business decisions with calculated risks. As such, she has also acquired a number of real estate properties to add to her portfolio. Most notably, the style icon purchased Candy Spelling’s former estate for $85 million back in 2011. The model didn’t use a credit card but instead bought the home named The Manor outright. Although Petra paid $85 million for the property, additional renovations were made, which led her to shell out an estimated total of $200 million. Imagine the insurance on this property!
