Bernie is such a total and complete jerk I wouldn’t be surprised if his response is “keep her”.
Isn’t there a chapter in the Rodney Dangerfield joke book on this topic? or was that Henny Youngman?
Oh not a problem.....all cultures are equal
Married Bernie Ecclestone in 2012. She was 35 then, so 39 now I guess. What billions will do for older gentleman's love lives!!!
Does his daughter still own that Spelling mansion?
I feel for the victim..unless she is in on it.
It would please me if Bernie got a spear driven through his sternum and had a while to think about his life and how he lived it, before finally being thrown in the pot and cooked and eaten.
Last I heard she still does own it. Never thought of that...victim in on it?
Greedy aren’t they?
What is that, $100K for each day of the year?
Strange way to calculate a ransom.
Well..she is only a mother in law..and it is Brazil we are talking about here
;)
“I’ve been marked down? I’ve been kidnapped by K-Mart.”
So he’s older thaan his own mother in law
More like 25 Million Pounds...
Bernie should be the one kidnapped and F1 would get back on the road to normal...
It’s too bad they didn’t grab Bernie. They could keep him with no objection from me.
Geez, his “mother in law” is 20 years younger than he is.
Brazil ... The USA in ten years
No USA in 3 years if hil gets in.
So it is broadcast on the news...I guess the ransom just went up. sigh
