Tamara Ecclestone: Money isn't everything

22nd October 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Tamara Ecclestone would be happy to date a "poor man" as long as he had a "good work ethic".

The 27-year-old socialite is the daughter of Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone. She lives in a 45 million home in London and her lavish lifestyle is about to be documented in a reality TV show called Tamara Ecclestone: Billion $$ Girl.

Tamara is currently dating stockbroker Omar Khyami but insists money doesn't drive her romantically.

"When I was young I had friends who grew up in council houses and I'd definitely date a poor man as long as he had a good work ethic," she said.

Tamara's mother is former model Slavica Ecclestone, who is now divorced from her dad. They split up in 2008 following 25 years of marriage and Tamara was initially shocked when she heard Bernie was dating 30-year-old Fabiana Flosi.

"I guess I don't have to ask his permission for who I date, and I'm 27, so why should he be at 80? But I was really upset," she admitted to the British edition of Grazia magazine. "I definitely threw all my toys out the pram. I didn't want to meet her because I felt it must be awful for mom. I have met her since but she'd not someone I'd go shopping with. That's the way I feel." (C) Cover Media
