Documents have reportedly revealed that Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone receives around 100 million-dollars every year from his second wife Slavica since the couple got divorced in 2009.

Official court papers have reportedly revealed that the formula one tycoon has received 500 million-dollars from his former wife's trust fund since 2009, which amounts to almost 100 million-dollars-per-year.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the details of the divorce settlement have been disclosed in a 256-page indictment, which had been laid before a German court last week.

The indictment states that since separating from his wife, the accused, Ecclestone, has received payments on the basis of the British decree nisi, amounting to around 100 million-dollars a year, but the duration of the payments from the divorce decree is not known.

Ecclestone, who had been married to his second wife Slavica for 24 years, got divorced from her in 2009 on the grounds of the formula one boss' 'unreasonable behaviour'.

Ecclestone married his third wife Fabiana Flosi in 2012, three years after his divorce from Slavica, the report added.

Ecclestone currently faces trial in Munich where he is accused of giving 45 million-dollars to German banker Gerhard Gribkowsky in order to secure the sale of a stake in the Formula One business to a company he favoured, the report further added.
