Philip Green’s wife Lady Tina inspects her new £100m super-yacht with bags over her shoes
She faces a grilling by MPs over the collapse of her husband’s former business BHS but Tina was more concerned with putting the finishing touches to her yacht 'Lionheart' in Italy
TYCOON Sir Philip Green’s wife Tina flashes the plastic, inspecting their new super-yacht wearing shoe covers.
Lady Green faces a grilling by MPs over the collapse of her husband’s former business BHS.
But Tina was more concerned with putting the finishing touches to the £100million Lionheart in Livorno, Italy.
She wore the medical-style shoe covers to protect the deck of the 300ft floating palace, registered in her name in Malta. It has taken four years to build and can accommodate 12 guests and 28 crew.
When finished it is expected to sail for Malta where Sir Philip, 64, will go for a test drive.
Lady Green fronts her husband’s empire and is worth £3.2billion.
MPs quizzed Sir Philip last week on BHS’s collapse, which left a £570million pension black hole.
He avoids paying millions in tax by keeping his businesses in his wife’s name in Monaco.
The scandal has led to calls for Sir Philip to be stripped of his knighthood and has brought fresh focus on his tax affairs.
Last night sources close to Sir Philip insisted he was committed to "fixing" the issues concerning the BHS pension fund.
