How heartless!
I want to forget the name Onassis. He brings only misfortune! "Athina Onassis (24) was almost a child when she expressed this wish - today she tries to put it into action?
The sole heir of the immense Onassis fortune is making plans that will put the Greeks on the barricades: they want to sell Skorpios, the "Onassis Island"!
Skorpios has been privately owned since 1963. Athina's grandfather, the owner Aristotle Onassis († 1975) bought the 80-acre island for very private purposes. Here he lived with Maria Callas. Here he married Jackie Kennedy.
Here he lies, his son Alexander († 1973) and his daughter Christina († 1988), Athina's mother, buried! How heartless must a daughter be that wants to sell the mother's grave ?!
Is Athina about to lure the money? The Onassis heir would want to achieve 120 million euros with Skorpios, they say. Computer billionaire Bill Gates (53) is said to have visited the island.
In the environment of the billionaire-heir, no one believes that it is about money. Athina is one of the richest women in the world with a six-billion-fortune and lives almost modestly. Whatever her motivations, her family members have seriously injured her. The Greeks love Athina because she is an Onassis - and are very disappointed because this Onassis does not want to know anything about them.
"She does not know our culture, does not speak our language, " they say sadly. On Skorpios one waits in vain for years for their visit. When Athina was last there, she could not visit her mother's grave: Because she does not speak Greek, she did not find the tombstone.
