Athina onassis will be 40: the billions of bills and the misfortune in luck

You have rarely seen them really radiant. In almost all photos she looks seriously, closed, yes, also repellent. Rarely that she laughs or even smiles, and if so, then there is certainly a horse nearby.

Athina Hélène Onassis, who turns 40 on January 29, still seems to serve the old cliché of the poor rich girl with a certain dedication. The gossip press has been providing this impressions for many years about the heiress of the billion-dollar legacy of her famous grandfather Aristotle Onassis (1906-1975).

Her ex-husband Álvaro “Doda” de Miranda Neto (51) is said to have said in a TV interview: “Many people have a lot of money, but to be happy, you can’t buy that with money. It’s more difficult To be than rich. ” Did he just put it in the room in general – or mean athina onassis?

From 2005 to 2017, the almost twelve -year -old world -clay leader from Brazil was married to Athina. The love of show jumping had brought the two together. She has been a horse star since childhood and was also a successful rider at international tournaments.

Then the accident occurred in November 2012, which seems to be typical of the unfortunate phases in the life of an onassis: she fell with the horse during training, injured two cervical vertebrae, still being lucky that her spinal cord was not damaged. “We firmly believe that God saved her,” said Doda. Already the following summer she took part in the European Championships (14th place).

In 2016 the separation from Doda followed and the divorce in 2017. He is said to have asked for $ 400 million from his super -rich wife, even though he has only 10 million according to the marriage contract. After a year, the two ex-partners had agreed on a divorce “in mutual agreement”. “You have reached an amicable agreement on all questions,” said the lawyers, according to media reports.

Athina pulled back from the public more and more. It only appeared on some riding tournaments. Shortly after the separation, Doda presented the Brazilian moderator Denize Severo as a new love. He married again, his wife got two children.

Athina was silent and retired even more. The constant change of happiness and misfortune seems to be a fate feature of her family. She was not four years old when her mother Christina Onassis (1950-1988) died of a heart attack at the age of 37, triggered by the years of abuse of alcohol and barbiturates.

Christina Onassis was considered a best games in the world. She had inherited a billion dollar assets from her father Aristotle Onassis and led the huge paternal shipping company. Christina was married four times, including the Russian KGB agent Sergei Kousow. With her last husband, the Frenchman Thierry Roussel (71), she had her daughter Athina. The marriage that only lasted three years was divorced in 1987 when Christina discovered that Roussel had a relationship with the Swedish model Marianne (“Gaby”) Landhage, who later became his wife.

Christina Onassis was also considered an unfortunate woman. Heavy strokes of fate shaped their lives. In 1973 her brother Alexander (1948-1973) had an airplane crash at the age of 24, in 1974 her mother Athina (1929-1974) committed suicide, and in 1975 her father died surprisingly. They plunged these losses into deep depression. Christina Onassis died in Buenos Aires in 1988 and left the entire onassis assets of her daughter, who was the only child to be the sole heir.

Athina grew up with her father Thierry Roussel in France, largely shielded from the public. Roussel was repeatedly assumed that he was targeting his daughter’s legacy. In fact, in November 1993, the Frenchman complained to the sole right of disposal about the assets of the minor Athina, although the Onassis Foundation reported that he granted an annual apanage of $ 1.4 million.

The disputes with the Greek asset management board were settled in 1999. In 2003 Athina became of legal age and competed in her leg. Two years later, she married the rider Doda.

Her legendary grandfather Aristotle Onassis, whose name became a synonym for immeasurable wealth, but who nevertheless tended to melancholy, gained the insight in his last years: “Whoever claims that money is possible with money that he has never proven that he has never had any ! ” His granddaughter will understand him well.
