People keep asking 22 year old British heiress Petra Ecclestone why she bought Candy Spelling's giant Holmby Hills estate, The Manor. Last week she told the New York Times that the 56,500 square foot house was "homey and livable," but with enough room for her five miniature dogs. She also said she "didn't want a modern kind of house"--The Manor was built in 1990 and is definitely not modern by any definition. Meanwhile, she "said that the reported $85 million [sale price] was incorrect, but implied that the number was 'around that region.'" [NYT]
