WE’RE ALL IN THE BILLIONAIRE PONY CLUB!
WHETHER their families are royalty, Silicon Valley billionaires or famous rock stars, it seems there’s only one hobby of interest to the daughters of the world’s richest parents — the eye-wateringly expensive world of international showjumping.
Last weekend, Eve Jobs, daughter of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, was pictured at an equestrian event in Florida with Jessica Springsteen, leading the charge of privileged young women devoting a sizeable chunk of daddy’s fortune to the sport.
With champion showjumping horses fetching up to £8 million, handmade saddles costing £4,000 and £250,000 luxury horseboxes fitted with airconditioning, horse showers and CCTV, it’s no wonder the sport has become a favourite of the super-rich.
So, who are the showjumping heiresses — and how much of their family’s fortune have they blown on their very expensive hobby?
