Tamara Ecclestone
An heiress, TV personality, and socialite, Tamara Ecclestone is only 32 years old and has already amassed a fortune of $3.6 billion. Well, she can thank her father for setting her up, as Bernie Ecclestone made his billions as the chief executive of the Formula One Group. She has also worked as a commentator for Sky Sports Italia in addition to other racing productions.
She got some bad press in 2013 when her ex-fiancé tried to blackmail her for £20,000 in exchange for not selling her “intimate secrets” to the media. This guy, Derek Rose, was eventually convicted and sent to jail for four years because of attempted blackmail.
Petra Stunt
The other daughter of Bernie Ecclestone is Petra Stunt, who, just like her sibling Tamara, is a model, socialite, and fashion designer. In 2011, she married another billionaire, a businessman by the name of James Stunt, and their wedding apparently cost £12 million. The couple has also gotten some press recently when they bought the former mansion of producer Aaron Spelling, which they then listed for $200 million.
Just like Tamara, Petra has had some ill fortunes with mischievous people. It was said in 2014 that she was conned out of £1.6 million by the contractor who was supposed to help renovate the aforementioned mansion. He, too, eventually met the full force of the law.

This 20-year-old reality TV star, half-sister of the famous Kim Kardashian, released a lucrative cosmetic brand called Kylie Cosmetics. This makeup grossed $900 million in fewer than three years.
Many objected to a proclamation that this billionaire was “self-made,” including a funny retort from dictionary.com, which tweeted that it “means having succeeded in life unaided.” Aided or not, Kylie is definitely a filthy rich young lady.

Rumor has it that the heiress is seeing harder times ahead, with her fortunes evaporating before her eyes. Between the cost of her luxurious lifestyle and the estimated $100 million it cost for her to divorce her ex-husband, perhaps she’ll be knocked down to a modest millionaire one of these days. Even the Greek tabloids are speculating on the possibility, one running a headline that reads, “Athina Onassis May Not Be a Billionaire Anymore!” Imagine the hardship!

She got the media’s attention in 2013 when she had a bastard child with famous French actor Gad Elmaleh, a man whose 16 years older than she is.
