Edward Pattinson is a multimillionaire entrepreneur who started his company, Pattinson Properties, in 1985. He is happily married to Sarah, with whom he has two sons. They live in an 11-bedroom, 12.5-bath mansion in London.
The property entrepreneur is well known for maintaining high standards of living, which include maintaining a very active social life. He often entertains guests at his London residence with dinner parties, vintage car displays and other entertaining activities.
While he is exceptionally well-connected in the world of property, he is not without his quirks. One of his favorite hobbies is scuba diving. Having dived in the Bahamas, the Maldives and the Caribbean, he has become an accomplished and experienced scuba diver. The 64-year-old also enjoys yachting and collecting vintage cars and planes. He is a keen knitter and weaver, and often gets crafty with his hands in his spare time.
More Than Just Wealth
Edward’s life is, by any standards, quite extraordinary. He was born in Wallasey, Cheshire in 1944. His father was a wealthy manufacturer. At the age of 16, he began studying art and design at the prestigious Regent Street Polytechnic. He left college after two years, with three-and-a-half years of studying architecture behind him. He then apprenticed to a renowned architect and designer, marrying his wife, Sarah, in the meantime.
Real estate has always been a favorite industry of the British upper classes. Inevitably, Edward’s grandfather, who founded the company, was keen to secure his great-grandson’s enrollment at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business. While there is no question that Edward has benefited from the familial wealth bestowed upon him, he has made his own name in the industry. He quickly established himself as a talented and innovative real estate entrepreneur.
His first major purchase was a five-bedroom, six-bathroom house in Kensington, which he had designed himself. The following year, he purchased a 16-bedroom estate, which was later reduced to nine bedrooms, in Oxfordshire. In 1987, he purchased the Luton Hoo Estate, a sprawling country pile set in 300 acres of parkland in England’s midlands. In 1997, he purchased an eight-bedroom Spanish villa in Malaga, along with another mansion in Sardinia. He also owns properties in Ibiza, Majorca and the Caribbean. Finally, in 2015, he purchased one of the most expensive apartments in Manhattan, a 75th-floor co-op with sweeping views of the city that cost him a cool $25 million.
A Social Life
Having acquired the reputation of a playboy, Edward decided to keep his marriage vows and settled down with the love of his life, Sarah. The couple have attended every Royal Wedding, have hosted several intimate family weddings and have regularly entertained famous friends at their 12-bedroom, 20-bathroom home in Kensington, even after it was featured in the 2014 film, Mad Max: Fury Road. The couple have five children, three sons and two daughters. The oldest son is a film producer and the other is an actor. Two of their daughters are also actors and the third is a writer.
This past summer, their Instagram followers were treated to a rare glimpse into their glamorous lifestyle when the couple shared images from their luxurious vacation in Thailand. The images featured Sarah in a plunging bikini and Edward wearing a swimsuit. While we may not always see everything that goes on behind the scenes of a celebrity couple’s Instagram account, the images serve to showcase Edward and Sarah’s perfectly curated feed. The couple are firm believers in the power of social media to expose and enhance their brand. As a multimillionaire entrepreneur who created a successful company and has acquired a global following, it is perhaps fitting that Edward and Sarah live in a $25-million home in London. The Instagrammers could not have chosen a more fitting abode to display their luxurious lifestyle.
An Inventive Mind
It is clear that Edward Pattinson is a man of many talents. Not only is he a successful entrepreneur, he is also an accomplished architect and engineer. He is the author of a number of well-regarded books on construction and design. He has also made a name for himself as a talented inventor, being the founder of several companies that specialize in technology-related projects. His company, Design Build Expert, has designed and built a luxury sports car, which is named the Bolero. The car is based on a 1915 model that was originally manufactured in France. It took Edward and his team two years to design and build the luxurious vehicle from scratch.
It has previously been established that Edward enjoys diving. In 2017, he patented a system that enables underwater vehicles to communicate with each other. The system was inspired by the mating rituals of crustaceans, which Edward witnessed while scuba diving in the Maldives. He is also the inventor of the Unmanned Undersea Transport or UBTT, a vehicle that can be controlled remotely from inside a water tank. The vehicle uses a mix of hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen to travel underwater. Its creators estimate that it will be able to carry up to four people for 30 minutes before it needs to be refilled. We can only imagine that Edward’s fascination with underwater life was also a factor in the design of his Fiancee, since she is a hardcore scuba diver. His creative mind certainly appears to be flourishing, which is good news for all of us.
Furious Woman
While we may not always get to see it, there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes of a celebrity couple’s life. We only get to see the curated highlights, but it is clear that Edward and Sarah’s life is anything but dull. As previously established, the couple enjoy a high degree of social engagement, and this shines through in the content that they share. Their Instagram account is a window into their glamorous lifestyle, showing us their perfectly coordinated outfits and glamorous parties. They certainly keep busy with a life that is, at the very least, interesting.
However, this interest in social media doesn’t just pertain to showing off our glamorous life. It also serves as a tool for the couple to engage with their followers. While we may not always see it, this is a prime example of the benefits of social media for business. Edward’s company, Design Build Expert, is a testament to this, having designed and built a luxury sports car, which is named the Bolero. This past summer, the company launched a dedicated Instagram page, offering fans a glimpse into the design process. The account features candid images of the vehicles being built and tested, along with detailed captions, offering additional information about the project. Having a dedicated account for this purpose is a smart move, as it allows the couple to continue to feed their interest in social media while simultaneously driving sales.
The Perfectionist
At 64 years of age, Edward has seen it all. He began his career as a real estate entrepreneur, and has built a name for himself in the industry. He is the founder of several companies that specialize in technology-related projects. At this point, it would be a major understatement to say that Edward is an extremely driven individual. He is, in fact, known in the industry for his perfectionism. While it may seem like an unpleasant quality, it is, in fact, a trait that has served him well. He has achieved more than enough to satisfy his ambitions. Now, at the age of 65, he is looking forward to a serene retirement.
Edward has, until now, kept his private life fairly private. He has maintained a low-profile, rarely appearing in public or in media. This, of course, has its perks. Despite his success, he maintains a humble and thoughtful approach to life, keeping company with friends and family. We have seen glimpses of this side of Edward in old photographs, which have recently surfaced on social media. In one image, he is sitting in a garden, wearing a beautiful floral-print dress and laughing with his wife. In another, he is seen with his wife and children, holding hands, sitting at a table, looking relaxed and happy. We may not always get to see it, but it is clear that Edward’s life is anything but dull. The fact that he has been so successful is certainly no surprise, as he is a driven, intelligent individual with a keen eye for detail. His wife, Sarah, has said that he is the “perfect match” for her, and it seems that they are right. Edward is the epitome of the rich and successful entrepreneur, maintaining a low profile while quietly creating a devoted following of admirers.
