Aristotle Onassis
Aristotle Onassis was a Greek shipping magnate who built the world's largest privately-owned shipping fleet and became one of the wealthiest men of the twentieth century. Born in Smyrna in 1906, he fled to Greece with his family in 1922 after the burning of Smyrna, losing his family's wealth, and later emigrated to Argentina where he began his business career. He founded Olympic Airways in 1957 and is also widely known for his 1968 marriage to Jacqueline Kennedy, the widow of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. He died on March 15, 1975, in France at the age of 69.
