Olivia Bentley has become one of the most iconic members of the Made in Chelsea cast. She is always at the center of the drama, and this is no exception in the new spin-off season, Made In Chelsea: Corsica. In a recent interview, Bentley referred to herself as "hurricane Bentley" and expressed her love for the show when she is single.

If you're curious about Bentley's background and what led her to where she is now, here's everything you need to know about her parents, sisters, upbringing, and family inheritance.

Bentley's parents, Kate and Kevin Bentley, have appeared on the show several times and are just as funny as she is. According to LinkedIn, Kevin Bentley is the Managing Director at Bentley Group, a plumbing, heating, and electrical company.

Bentley has three sisters: Athena and Cordelia, who are younger, and Kinvara, who is one year older than Olivia. While they haven't posted together on Instagram in years and have made their profiles private, all four of them did a photoshoot with Country Life magazine in 2016 inside a 1930s Bentley before they became more private.

Cordelia Bentley studied business management at Oxford Brookes and was featured in The Tab's best-dressed article from their university fight night. She now works as a marketing account manager and lives near Chelsea in Parsons Green. Similarly, Kinvara works in influencer marketing and lives in London. Athena stayed in Oxfordshire and works as a product analyst, according to her LinkedIn profile. So, there are no nepo babies in the Bentley family.

The Bentley family's Oxfordshire estate, named the Burrow Farm, was put on the market in 2021 for £50 million. Liv's family house is a 478-acre estate that was bought in 1978 by her grandfather, David Palmer, who was an insurance boss and passed away in 2019 at the age of 92. The property includes two pools, 14 homes, 11 commercial structures, as well as a partridge and pheasant shoot.

Liv described their home as "old-school, not flashy" and emphasized that they don't have sports cars parked outside. She stated that their house is very homely and when she eventually settles down, she aspires to have a countryside life like her parents.

There is some uncertainty surrounding whether Olivia and her family are the heirs to Bentley Motors. Liv has claimed that she is the great-great-great-granddaughter of the founder of Bentley Motors, but the company itself has denied this. It's a strange and awkward situation.

The new season of Made in Chelsea: Corsica will begin on Sunday, August 13th at 9pm. For the latest reality TV and entertainment news and gossip, follow Pop Culture Shrine on Facebook.
