https://www.tomhartleyjnr.com/the-ecclestone-grand-prix-collection/ Can’t seem to find a definitive list if anyone’s able to help. Couple of the “best” examples here; https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money...e-Ecclestone-300-million-collection-sale.html Certainly puts the bikes in the other thread into perspective!
I wonder why a guy with more money than he could ever spend, would part with his collection aged 94? And then suddenly its announced he has changed his mind! Now once he has bought the farm, I expect the family will dump the cars as fast as they can, so this could all have been a shrewd way to increase interest & value...
People with that wealth don’t have tax bills. They do a deal which is normally way less that what was ‘asked’ for by taxman
Not in this case. He was charged with and pleaded guilty to cheating the revenue out of something like £700m, so it has gone way beyond the negotiating stage.
His ex-son inlaw has a colourful real life godfather....what's the saying 'birds of a feather, flock together ' ?
Bound to be more. Never in history has someone so wealthy actually paid back what is owed: why would it be different with him

Bang the little prick up. it’s always the richest that do their utmost to swerve paying their way. Like Sunak's Missus…..grrr
It’s not clear what amount of tax he dodged. The £400m figure isn’t the tax he avoided but the value of a trust that he failed to declare to HMRC when he was being investigated on terms that he wouldn’t be prosecuted if he made full and frank disclosure of all hidden assets and tax “errors”. He ended up having to pay HMRC £652m, but that included interest and a 200% penalty. The judge’s sentencing remarks give a full explanation: https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/R-v-Ecclestone-sentencing-121023.pdf
Saw today some guy who put steaming state on firestick and sold them had been imprisoned for over 3 years. Moral of the story folks: be a big corp and the police will do all your dirty work for you and defrauding millions from the British tax payer means less than a few quid from major corp revolution is overdue. Net zero is going to put us all in poverty anyway so we may as well go some swinging
