Tamara Ecclestone‘s mother tells her she has “mental problems” because of her spending. The 27-year-old socialite — the daughter of Formula 1 billionaire Bernie Ecclestone and Croatian model Slavica Ecclestone – admits she loves her huge wardrobe and accessories collection, though her mum gets annoyed when she sees her excesses.
“I am aware of the recession. My mum is always having a go at me about my spending — when she sees all the clothes in my dressing room she tells me I have mental problems. But I can’t pretend this isn’t my life,” she said.
“OK, I feel bad about it sometimes, but it doesn’t make me a horrible person. I’m not going to lie and say I don’t love clothes and bags.
“Some people need crack cocaine, I just need shoes. Some people collect art, I collect Birkins [handbags].”
Tamara also admitted she has staff to clean her house, though she undertakes her own chores at weekends.
“Mum did everything herself — she even cleared her own dishwasher,” she said.
“I don’t. I do at weekends though. I know it’s bad.”
