Candy Spelling's Mansion Sold To Petra Ecclestone

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.

The current plan of her father's Bernie is to go forward with a F1 race in Bahrain early in 2012 is abominable. I suggest a house warming party for Petra. Maybe a flash mob. Bring graffiti materials and party decorating materials like rolls of toilet paper to festoon the place with. I suggest a date early in August.

From these comments - I detect a bit of jealously among the riff-raff...

Good gravy, I can't believe so many people are jealous to the point of calling this palatial mansion "ugly...." I'm imagining the surrounds in which they're feverishly transforming their green feelings into negative type....

I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- it's nice to have an entry hall in which an airplane can land.

PS The photos are poorly organized.

Obscene. That house is obscene. So is wasting all that money, not just the purchase price, but the upkeep as well ( imagine how much THAT is per year!! ).

Most definitely disagree. Not too big, not at all tacky. (Thumbs up for having a green opinion, though!) :o)

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.

That is perhaps the ugliest and least comfortable home I've ever seen.

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"????
