The mother-in-law of Formula One racing executive Bernie Ecclestone was reportedly kidnapped in Brazil and the criminals are demanding a $36.5 million ransom.

Reuters, citing Brazilian media, reported Monday that Aparecida Schunck, 67, who is the mother of Ecclestone’s wife Fabiana Flosi, was captured Friday night in the Sao Paulo neighborhood of Interlagos.

According to Veja, the ransom demand is the highest in the country’s history.

Brazilian authorities have yet to confirm the kidnapping.

Ecclestone, 85, is one of the most powerful officials in Formula One. He’s estimated to be worth about $3.1 billion, according to Forbes magazine.

He married Flosi in 2012, three years after meeting her at the Brazilian Grand Prix. He divorced his wife of 25 years to marry Flosi. They now live in England.

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?

Fabiana Flosi

Married Bernie Ecclestone in 2012. She was 35 then, so 39 now I guess. What billions will do for older gentleman's love lives!!!

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.

...the criminals are demanding a $36.5 million ransom.

What is that, $100K for each day of the year?

Strange way to calculate a ransom.

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.
