The belief that money brings happiness does not apply most of the time. A striking example is the family of the great Greek Croissos with its immense wealth and tumultuous life. Clearly the reason is for the family of the Greek businessman, Aristotle Onassis.

A plane crash, marriages, divorces and infidelities seem to haunt members of the legendary dynasty. Indeed, according to many, the Onassis’s money was cursed. However, it is clear that the ‘The Curse of the Onassis’ They were their choices.

Athena Onassis She was in the spotlight these days, as reporting reported that her impeccable fortune is decreasing year by year, more and more. More specifically, in “Golden heir” They are charged a series of wrong options, which was invited to pay dearly.

Athena Onassis

Only for her separation from Alvaro de Miranda Neto had to pay an amount, close to $ 45 million. However, she avoids any statement and the media in general. The heir to the legendary dynasty saw her fortune decline dramatically due to incorrect investment, costly hobbies and compensation.

Athena Onassis is reminiscent of her old self. After a very difficult divorce with the Alvaro Alfonso de Miranda Netothe man who marked her life, the golden heir changed. She has stopped visiting Greece, perhaps in an effort to shake off the tragic fate of her family.

Christina Onassis

It was quite difficult in the years after her long -running divorce with Alvaro. His demands for their divorce had become a headline as he claimed a huge fortune from Athena Onassis. It was a great love. Their marriage lasted for 11 years, with his double life and his infidelities being presented to court. Their story looks like many with the tragedy of the Atridites. Same as her mother’s fate … Who does not remember the stormy relationship of her mother, Christina, with her much older US real estate agency Joseph Bolger.

Aristotle Onassis’ daughter, despite her father’s objections, married Bolger. Christina was right at Athena’s age when she decided to “unite” her life with the 58 -year -old big businessman. The marriage lasted less than eight months. Onassis, according to newspapers of the time, did not allow his young daughter to marry the owner Petros Goulandris. Christina wanted to “avenge” the Greek tycoon, accepting the marriage proposal of a man who had the age of her father. Athena did the same.

The love and marriage of Aristotle Onassis with Jackie Kennedy

According to many scholars and biographers who researched the life of the Onassis family thoroughly and in depth, Aristotle Onassis’ marriage to Jackie Kennedy was a starting point.

Aristotle Onassis, sixteen -year -old, sees Smyrna’s bridge in flames from the bridge. Behind him, his native land is burning, family property is destroyed, the homeland is lost. The young Aristotle (born in January 1906) escapes the burning city. He arrives in Athens with the hundreds of thousands of Greek refugees from Asia Minor, where his family settles. A year later, in August 1923, he travels with a Nansen passport (a passport without nationality, given to the state -of -the -art) for Argentina, looking for a better life and new opportunities.

Son of wealthy tobacco, with adequate training in foreign languages ​​and commercial practices by the Evangelical School of Cosmopolitan Smyrna, will begin his business career in Buenos Aires. In 1932, the year when his father dies, he makes the decision to change his life: he turns to shipping. He is in London for six months in London and in 1933, in the midst of the global downturn, he buys two cargo ships from the Canadian steamship company, which was tied to the Saint Lawrence River, for 3,775 pounds each. All of them remnants of the Great War. The rest are known for his rise to the top and his business steps.

In January 1954, Onassis signs an agreement with Saudi Arabia, which makes sense because of its international importance – another bold move that surprises allies and competitors. In the following decades the floating empire is growing.

In 1963 Onassis buys Scorpio, a small, barren and arid island opposite Lefkada. It transforms it into its private paradise on earth, with tree plantings, hostels, ports, beaches and a farm.

'The Curse of the Onassis'

Aristotle Onassis’s life was not missing from love … We all know about his great love with Maria Callas, who even started when they were both married and of course no one forgets his marriage to Jackie Kennedy, then Onassis.

Before all, in 1946, at the age of 46, he married his first wife, Tina Lebanon, daughter of the large shipbuilder Stavros Lebanon in New York. Tina was only 14 years old when Onassis asked for her hand and eventually managed to marry her when she was 17.

The tragic death of Alexander Onassis

Alexander Onassis was the monk of the Greek tycoon he had acquired with his first wife, Tina Lebanon. He was born on April 30 in New York and was Onassis’s favorite child. He had a huge passion for expensive sports cars, and he was also an excellent pilot. Unfortunately, he “paid” this passion with his life.

On January 22, 1973, the plane he was piloting crashed just seconds after taking off from Hellenic Airport. Alexander was buried, at the age of 25, in Scorpio. In the same place he “met” with his father two years later, as he died not withstanding the loss of his son.

From the first moment he argued that the accident was not accidental and that his son was a victim of criminal activity. Seven engineers of Olympic, who were acquitted on November 7, 1977, were charged with the accident by the decision of the Athens Criminal Court.

Christina Onassis was found dead in her bathroom

Christina’s engagement with businesses began shortly after the death of her father and her brother. She had inherited from her father the astronomical sum of $ 408 million. Although Christina Onassis had 4 weddings, she only had one daughter, Athena, from her marriage to Tieri Russell. The couple split three years later. Specifically, Christina learned about Tieri’s parallel relationship with a model from Sweden, Gabi Landgac.

It is said that for every night she spent with her, she gave him a hundred thousand dollars. Wanting to keep her family united even with Gabi. She would spend the summer of 1986 in Monaco with the woman who competed for her husband’s heart and the child she had acquired with him. When, however, she learned that Gabi was pregnant again, Christina accepted Roussel’s request for divorce, under the most favorable to the same terms.

'The Curse of the Onassis'

Christina Onassis offered $ 10 million to Tieri Russell to become another child’s father. But Roussel refused. A few months later, in November 1988, Christina was found dead in the bathroom of her luxurious villa in a district of Buenos Aires.

Initially, there were suspicions that he had committed suicide, but later it was found to be a heart attack caused by pulmonary edema. Her body was transported and buried in Scorpio along with the rest of her family.
