Beauty and the billionaire: Bloated Flavio Briatore entertains his stunning wife

Updated 15:51pm on 26 Aug 2008




He has billions in the bank but, as Flavio Briatore has found out, money can't buy you beauty or poise.

The bloated managing director of the Renault Formula One team was sunning himself with his stunning wife Elisabetta Gregoraci when he took a tumble climbing into his dingy.

Onlookers gasped as the 58-year-old clambered around trying to right himself on the Spanish beach.

With his bright pink shirt flapping open the Italian businessman couldn't have been more of a contrast to his Wonderbra model wife, 28.

She showed off the style that caught her husband's eye as she took a dip in a blue halterneck bikini, accessorised with gold bangles and a pair of designer sunglasses.

She then climbed back onto the couple's yacht where she waved to her watching husband.

But despite his bloated waistline Briatore obviously has something going for him - his past conquests include supermodels Naomi Campbell and Heidi Klum, with whom he has a daughter, Helene.
