Whilst British and Spanish economies may be faltering, jobs being lost, and governments looking to implement spending cuts, it would seem that some citizens of these two European nations appear impervious to the current economic climate. Whilst Britain and Spain are experiencing the sovereign debt crisis in very different measures, and do have two very different currencies, it seems that two prominent people are doing their bit to generate economic growth by spending on new luxury cars.
Tamara Ecclestone, F1 heiress as daughter of Bernie, took delivery of an immaculate new Bentley. The paparazzi captured her admiring her new wheels recently. Whilst she may be spoiled by the number of beautiful cars she is used being around, it appears that she was still dazzled by the luxury white sports car with personalised number plates. It would seem that this was a belated Christmas present from her boyfriend Omar as she tweeted to her fans ‘Christmas present Omar got me is coming tonight so excited!’. Following the trend for heiresses to star in their own reality television show, Tamara’s series is called Billion $$ Girl. She certainly played the part with this new set of wheels.
With the Euro zone economies of Spain and Italy faltering, the governments will be pleased to see high-profile spending as Cristiano Ronaldo was seen disposing of some of his income recently. The Real Madrid footballer treated himself to a brand new Lamborghini Aventador as a 27th birthday present. The matte-black supercar was pictured being filled up with fuel in a Madrid filling station last week. Looking every inch the Batmobile it is depicted as on-screen, this famous footballer would seem to have chosen exactly the car with which to appear a superhero. With a career like his, he will certainly have change left over from the purchase of the car to ensure his tank never runs dry.
Since whatever stars like these do sets trends, we can only guess at what the latest craze may do for pulling the countries out of the recession. The news however is there in black and white.
