Candy Spelling's Mansion Sold To Petra Ecclestone


First Posted: 06/13/11 08:41 PM ET Updated: 06/13/11 08:57 PM ET

Via Realtor.com: Candy Spelling's massive 57,000 square-foot home has finally sold -- for an undisclosed price -- to Formula One heiress Petra Ecclestone. The home had been shown since 2008 and officially on the market since 2009, reports the Wall Street Journal.

The home was first listed at $150 million, and while we're not sure of the final sale price, Realtor.com points out that "listing agents Rick Hilton and Jeff Hyland of Hilton & Hyland and Sally Forster Jones of Coldwell Banker stand to possibly make a combined $9 million in commissions" if it's anywhere near the original asking price.

Candy's mansion sits on five acres in the exclusive Holmby Hills neighborhood and contains fourteen bedrooms and twenty-seven bathrooms. It contains special rooms dedicated to activities like wrapping presents and storing silverware, in addition to the usual luxe amenities: wine cellar, bowling alley, screening room, library, and gym, according to the Associated Press.

Petra Ecclestone is a 22-year old fashion designer who has been described as "one of the most spoilt girls in Britain," according to the Daily Mail. Earlier this year, Ecclestone's father, Formula One CEO Bernie Ecclestone, bought a £56 million home for Petra in London, who claimed it was for her five dogs.

Yuck! That is the most beige, dull, boring, and lifeless house I've ever seen! A little color somewhere wouldn't hurt it at all. The grounds are much more colorful and prettier than the interior of the house.

The link on the L.A. Page said home was sold to "heiress" Paula. Has anyone told her "STILL ALIVE" father that he is dead and his will has been probated to make her an "heiress"?­???

Gee, why not leave it in the family, esp with Tori & husband having a 3rd child. Something that big needs a family...a tribe to fill it.

Hello, front desk? Can we get some towels up here?

I was working nearby (at UCLA) while that house was being built and I confess, I once peed in the front yard. Perhaps traces of my waters may still be found in that fountain out front. I like to think so.

I'm not sure what's more vulgar/nau­seating... ANYONE owning a 57,000 square foot home or some real estate "earning" 9 million for inputting a property into the MLS. Talk about a job where you make PILES of cash for bringing virtually NOTHING to the table... ick.

Twenty seven bathrooms. Did anyone catch if they were indoor or outdoor commodes?

This home looks very 80's. I certainly can't see a young woman wanting to live in something that looks like her grandparen­ts might enjoy. It's going to cost another 20 million to redecorate­.

You're right, GOP. I can tell just looking at this house that the ultra-rich need more tax cuts.

Considerin­g she's British, I doubt she'd pay in much anyway.

I just love obscene wealth.
