Aristotle Onassis Couldn’t Escape The Kennedy Curse
The life of millionaire shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis is a riches to rags—and back to riches again—story. His underhanded business dealings were constantly under suspicion, and so was his unseemly pursuit of married women. Operating in some of the world’s most glamorous locations, Onassis manipulated his romantic and commercial life with a lethal combination of an ice cold heart and undeniable charm.
Onassis not only used that charm to woo the widowed Jackie Kennedy—he also used it to attract other women during their toxic marriage. However, one of the worst betrayals came when he decided to rekindle an old flame—and Jackie found out in the most brutal way imaginable.
While in America, she picked up a newspaper only to see her husband's infidelity splashed all over the front page. He'd been sighted in Paris, sharing a romantic dinner with his true love, Maria Callas.
Infuriated, Jackie raced across the pond and insisted that he have dinner with her as well—in the exact same restaurant. After all this, one thing was certainly clear: Onassis' insatiable appetite for women poisoned his personal life.
