What is it with all these bathtubs? Who's ever really going to see it apart from you? There has to be something to it that we don't understand, because all of the rich and famous seem to go all-out to make theirs the most opulent and luxurious in the world. We think Tamara Ecclestone might have everybody beaten, though.
Ecclestone is the daughter of Bernie Ecclestone, a multi-billionaire who served for years as the outright owner of Formula 1 racing. That means she's never going to be short of money, and she had enough of it to spend one million dollars on her dream bath. Around 80% of that cost was the material; it's completely made out of crystal. The remaining $200K was spent reinforcing the floor of her home so it could support the weight of a crystal bathtub. According to Ecclestone, the cost is justified because she spends a lot of time in the bath.
