To think Tamara Ecclestone is the luckiest woman alive

2 healthy and happy children, adoring husband, lovely relationship with sister, health, all the money in the world. I follow her on instagram and she seems like a lovely mum.

Only slightly jealous that she's constantly taking her children all around the world during school holidays and always going to lovely places constantly. I do wonder why she posts on instagram so much though, surely, it's not like she needs the instagram advertising revenue.

Is she the luckiest woman humanity has ever seen?

Genuinely, her father is a deeply awful man. Not just a criminal but manipulative and controlling and lying. I've followed F1 for years and he is such an evil shit.

That alone means her life is unlikely to be anything like perfect. It means her childhood is likely to have have been marred by those traits and I cannot believe he stopped just because he got old - so it's likely to still be a factor in some way and it means she will have struggled for genuine love from at least one of her parents.

But yes, she will be extraordinarily rich and have multiple dodgy contacts in governments around the world, should she want or need them. So there's that Grin

Meh.
Financially she's in a fortunate position but not of her own making. Let one like a plastic life to me.

Lentilweaver · 15/04/2024 08:07

I have just Googled her. I don't suppose anyone will believe me, but I am not jealous. Really.

All of the men in her and her sisters lives appear to be dodgy including their father.

I have a successful career and it's fucking tedious. If I won the lottery I'd quit tomorrow.

Hiker50 · 15/04/2024 08:03

Her husband is seriously dodgy (Google him) and she does the same tedious things on repeat. No career and no real achievements.
All her businesses have failed.
Good if she's happy but she isn't someone I would like to compare myself to.
Kids of the super wealthy who have achieved something are better to compare to.
Stella McCartney.
Jamie Oliver's daughter whose a nurse. Or Gordon Ramsays daughter whose a police officer. Much more impressive.

Oh well, if her life is perfect on instagram then it must be the truth 🙄

lol!

LyricalGangsta · 15/04/2024 08:00

I'm with the 'it's a bit sad' crowd.
I personally think anyone that posts loads of crap on social media probably has a sad and empty life in the respect they need constant validation and recognition from others.

Also this must be the umpteenth post on MN envying women who don't work and have a man who has given them money.

That's not my idea of a great life.

Sounds fab to me, sign me up.

tinkerbellesslagoon · 15/04/2024 07:59

It must be weird to have a sister who is nearly 70 and a brother who is 3

Strugglingtodomybest · 15/04/2024 07:59

I do wonder why she posts on instagram so much though, surely, it's not like she needs the instagram advertising revenue.

My guess is that she's seeking validation.

I'm not entirely sure who she is, but lucky or not, if she's posting all the time on Instagram, she's probably not that happy.

Is it a real life though? Personally I'd get hugely bored of travelling to five star places and living a five star life. I'd rather work hard, earn my rewards and enjoy them all the more for being occasional treats.
If she's living her life through Insta, that may be her way of getting affirmation, which is a bit hollow.
Yes my life would have been much easier with a bit more money but I wouldn't want to swap with a celebrity/rich person under constant media glare. Plus how horrible to be part of a family where tax fraud on a by-most-standards huge scale is considered acceptable.

Can't agree with you there, I'd love to have endless dosh and never have to work again. Working hard holds 0 appeal for me.

Willmafrockfit · 15/04/2024 07:58

she bought her house for £45 million in 2011
christ!

She doesn't work for money, but can choose to do 'work' that she chooses, that must be so nice.

Show quote history

She can do that because she had a rich dad. There is a satisfaction to making your own money that I would never want to be without.
I'd rather envy Deborah Meaden. Of course she's not a hot influenza. She made her own fortune though and is secure enough to not have to look hot.

Willmafrockfit · 15/04/2024 07:57

i bet she is not really happy

Willmafrockfit · 15/04/2024 07:56

i dont know who she is,
google tells me she is a model and socialite.
her father is bernie

greengreyblue · 15/04/2024 07:55

You can’t tell if she’s a good mum from insta. Nonsense.

EveryoneJapan · 15/04/2024 07:54

She seems perfectly pleasant. Not the specific lifestyle I’d go for if I had her kind of money but horses for courses. Good
luck to her!

PS - I’m sure she does have issues, as everyone does, beyond the well-curated social media life.

SleepingStandingUp · 15/04/2024 07:53

I'm sure there are women with her wealth, healthy kids, good husband etc without the publicity. They seem luckier to me. Not having to live out the perfect life because of the cameras. Not having to worry about the safety of your kids cos no one knows them etc.

Lol, I bet even Katie Price has a warm, homely vibe on Instagram.

I wouldn't believe everything you see.
