Aristotle Socrates Onassis was a Greek shipping magnate who came from a wealthy and influential family. Born in 1906 in the city of Smyrna, which is now known as Izmir in Turkey, Onassis was the son of a wealthy tobacco merchant. His family had a long history of successful business ventures, and this undoubtedly played a role in shaping Onassis’s entrepreneurial spirit and his drive to succeed.
Onassis inherited a significant amount of wealth from his family, which he used to start his own shipping company. He quickly rose to prominence in the industry, and by the mid-20th century, he had become one of the wealthiest men in the world. His success in the shipping industry allowed him to amass a vast fortune, which he used to acquire an impressive portfolio of real estate.
Today we will take on the journey to his real property empire that he shared with his first wife Tina, his children Alexander and Christina, his second wife Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and now the last surviving heiress – Athena Onassis. But most of all, we might know his life together with Jackie, their multiple holidays and wedding at the private island Skorpios, and the famous socialite life in Mayfair house. What happened to their “old money mansions”, and where does his single granddaughter reside? These and more you will see in this impressive video! Let’s move on.
London, Mayfair
The famous London home that belonged to the Onassis family once again was the topic for discussion when it was listed on the real estate market for almost 30 million dollars, yet, was snapped by a Saudi millionaire for 24 million dollars! As it was reported, the historic house was a gift to his daughter.
The stunning apartment in Mayfair which was a primary spot for hosting parties and celebrations by Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Princess Lee Radziwill, and opera diva Maria Callas, features five bedrooms, three reception rooms, four en-suite bathrooms, a family kitchen, an entrance hall, a bar, guest powder room, library, large balcony, and south-facing terrace. The ambassadorial house once was under the name of Aristotle’s sister, Artemis Onassis.
