Irina Malandina has led a charmed existence - up until now.
The glamorous blonde ex-wife of Roman Abramovich splits her time between two mega-mansions in Belgravia, an £18 million, 425-acre estate in West Sussex and a £15 million waterside villa in Antibes - once the former home of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. She is said to be Harrods’ number one customer, with walk-in wardrobes stuffed full of designer clothes, and has been described by one former security guard as the “Imelda Marcos of London”. But now it’s been reported that she is hiding in one of her palatial London homes “living in fear”, terrified that her £500 million fortune is under threat and that the days of flaunting her fabulously lavish lifestyle in the UK are over.
