I remember Christina. She always looked terribly sad even behind the facade of a smile. She was used by everybody. She would have been far happier and funny if she were born to a middle class family. The day she died was a sad day as i felt she was nowhere near fulfilled in her life, except for having Athena for three short years. I'm not surprised Athena's father dipped into her fortune. The cad would have tried to take the lot if he could. Rest In Peace Christina 🙏🕊
That's why Christina put Athina's inheritance in a trust monitored by the Greek government until she turned 18 because she knew Athina's father would squander it all. The Greek government was debating on giving it to her because she had no interest in Greek culture or the language.
i worked at LAX AIRPORT in 1970s n 80s and used to see Christina coming through. she was polite, pretty and sadly surrounded by hangers-on who were always asking for something from her, like money and tankers! she would be chugging a small bag of m&m candies and saying to anyone who would listen, this is my only pleasure- they wont leave me alone for a minute (referring to the Russian ex husband and others trying to get her money). I wish she had people who had protected her instead.
I will not feel sorry for the rich Onassis Daughter (Christina). Alexander her brother died in a plane wreck. Christina abused her body and died too young!
Maybe. Not having enough money helps you be hard working and often humble. It helps you see your need for Jesus and His forgiveness unto Salvation. Being rich let's you throw caution to the wind and not see yourself as lacking and not making it to Heaven. That and many of the mega rich (several mentioned in this video) follow a religion that teaches you that you have a second chance at making Heaven after you die. A lie form the pits of Hell.
I was a young teen by the late 80s. But I remember she was always in the tabloids along with Michael Jackson and Princess Diana. Imagine not being able to date because everyone sees you and an opportunity. Another terrific video. Bravo!
@@mtaylor7307imo only it felt as if he was her opportunity to find safety away from the 3 letter agencies and others who wanted to ensure her silence about that day in Dallas. Also from some members of her own family in connection to JFK. Nothing that happened there has been reported accurately this far. Film called "War is a Rich Man's Trick" will more than prove this.
@@marietta1335 apples and oranges. Aristotle Onassis was a very successful opportunist, using his female (and male, according to what I've read) conquests as stepping stones to financial and political success. I don't get that impression regarding his daughter. It seems she was suffering from some inherited karma.
I remember her. I felt so sorry for her, she was visibly sad! After her death, I prayed for many years for her little girl's happiness since it is true that money cannot buy such a blessing. I really would like to hear how Athina is doing today. I hope she is really happy, and I hope she is doing well for humanity as well. ❤
I just recently learned about her about 8 months but that is crazy because I had a friend that looked like her named Christian when I was younger. 11:52 That is so sad, all that good and sad things happened to them, and her🤞
Having too much money is as bad as not having enough. You become a target and you really never know who's a true friend, etc. Also you have nothing but time on your hands to dabble in things you shouldn't be dabbling in. Purpose in life gives meaning to life. And being comfortable is more important than excess. Excess leads to demise in most cases. Moderation is the key to life. Christina had too much money and time on her hands and it cost her her life. Like so many others who have more money than they could ever spend, it took a toll on their ability to have a real and meaningful life. Parties, fake friends, plastic surgery, cigarettes, alcohol and drugs, etc. That's not a life. Ask all the people who died as a result of it
I remember Christina Onassis and the tragic story of her life including the deaths in her family, her divorces and her drug addiction. This is a perfect example of wealth doesn't necessarily bring us happiness, period! Great investigating, presenting and backstories, too. Take care 🦋
Thank you for this very interesting story. Money doesn’t buy happiness. It seems that the Onassis family had as much tragedy as the Kennedy family. At the age of 78 years, I remember both the Onassis sand Kennedy happenings at the time. Nice narrative of the two stories. 👍🏻❤️🙏
Both Onassis and his wife were too involved with their own lives and hired people to take care of their children. The parents sent their kids off to the very best boarding schools he could find. Sigmund Freud warned parents against doing this, because he had his share of clients who as children were put in that predicament. When one does that, they are hiring an employee and employees for the most part are not a 100%. Also person caring for for children may have their own agenda that may not be conducive with a child's welfare. At the end of his life he realized he made big mistakes. Also he found out precisely the real value of all his wealth. It's said that the happiest people in the world are people who care for their children and have happy marriages.
My family is big in equestrian circles across several different countries for a few generations now. I met her daughter Athina back in the late 00’s in Argentina during a show jumping competition. I didn’t know who she was until I was later told.
@@debbylou5729 That's with wealth alone. Not wealth plus fame. Wealthy people who aren't hounded by photographers and journalists everywhere they go. It also depends on if it's generational or not. People who earned their fortune are happier than people who were born into it.
@@MakerInMotion that usually only applies to celebrity wealth. I’ve only known a couple of people that came from old money and they were both very happy. I think the difference lies in parental expectations. With the Royals in the news it’s clear that the petulant child is unhappy no matter what, while the heir with expectations is truly happy. The same goes for Edward and family and Andrew’s children. The people I knew were motivated and had achievements of their own. I think ‘poor’ people like to believe they’re more virtuous and happy. Poor being a relative term
Yes, Jackie Kennedy was CIA and she participated in JFK's murder, she spied on Bobby and then stole her sister's boyfriend who was Onassis because Nixon told the CIA to kill the bastard as the U.S. did not like it that Onassis signed a deal with the Saudis to ship their oil. Jackie did the next best thing which was to have his son's planed rigged and he crashed and was killed. This destroyed Ari's health and Christian told her father this was no accident and that Jackie was involved. He was going to divorce her but he died before he did. By Greek law Jackie was supposed to get half of the estate but Christina went to the Greek government and told them she only gets a quarter which was a vast amount and then Christina got rid of Jackie for good. Jackie destroyed the Onassis family. Christina never got over it.
Another fascinating biography. Additionally I am always impressed with your impeccable pronunciation of the text of your stories as well as the occasional foreign phrases and names. Bravo!!

I couldn't remember the name of your channel, and have been looking for it, since... to no avail. Well TH-cam FINALLY did me a solid, and recommended this video. I'm glad to have come across your content again!! 😊

Such great narration! Thank you for sharing this history. This was certainly a great research i didn't know of. I watched and listened on the big screen, had more effective enjoyment and ads for you. With pleasure FLives 😊
Another great video. Your ability to curate and present so much information in such a short space of time is amazing. You make it look easy - but anyone who has ever had to take in a massive amount of information and distill it into something accessible will tell you, it's a tremendous skill. Anyway. I learned a lot and enjoyed that. So - yet again - thank you for your work.
She was actually an excellent businesswoman. She gained control of the trusts her father set up adding to her wealth. He husbands and friends used her for her money. There are several very good biographies on her.
Happiness &success come due to ones state of mind. If you think it, believe it, you can be as miserable or as happy as you choose. The poor,poor me attitude is ones downfall. To compare your own life to someone else's is lame & an excuse to fail. What is success? It's not necessary money, fame, or notoriety. Granted, enough money does definitely make some hardships easier to navigate. I know plenty of extremely wealthy folk as well as extremely poor who make a minimum amount of money. From my experience, the wealthy are miserable & many are rarely satisfied, or never seem to have "enough", it's not about the money all the time. Plenty of people who do not make millions appear to have a more realistic outlook on life and are totally happy with their lives. From my own experience, having money brings bad people into your life. They are users, jealous of what you accomplished, and would love to see you crash & burn. They are not friends. They are evil , suck the energy out of you and any amount of money they can by any means. Society has put wealth at the top . Thinking it solves all problems. When in fact it can be completely the opposite. I agree that being able to provide the necessity of needs in life without financial struggle is a bonus as well a luxury. People are as resilient as they choose to be. My happiest days in life are when my family is healthy, have a roof over their head ,show compassion for others and kind. Doing everything for all the right reasons. Ill gotten gains are the devil himself. When the money is gone, so are alit of the folks who never cared in the first place. A lot less problems and misery too. Folks like to flaunt their wealth, some look down on those who have little to none. I find it in bad taste to "show off" just because one is well off and want everyone to know what they are worth or the material things they have , can easily aquire. Integrity is paramount. Health, good manners, loving family and a sense of well being, believing in the almighty, helping those in need is true success. When others speak highly of you , appreciate you for who you are , what you do , how you treat others is a treasure like no other. I am a compassionate person, I appreciate those who show compassion to others and animals. Money doesn't go with you when you leave this earth. Society today is focused on wealth in the formation of money , material things, expensive cars, homes, clothes, jewelry, etc. . I don't feel sorry for the wealthy people that appear to have it so rough. They can help themselves if they choose to. I have sympathy for those who suffer at the hands of controlling people & are burdened simply because they feel they have little/more worth in life than they actually do. Be kind, genuine, love yourself & others. The meek shall inherit the earth. Praise Jesus, pray for salvation & please God, deliver us from evil. I got carried away in my comment, bit I'm certain many will get my point. Life is what you make it. We are only human. We are on this earth for a very short time. Those who have faith will forever be successful & rewarded in Jesus name. The none believers can shun me. Doesn't bother me. They are usually the most miserable. peaceTo all .
1st? Gave it the 👍🏼up straight away. Give it a like folks, it doesn't cost anything, and Try to let the ads run if you can do.... Best Wishes Xxx 🙏🏼❤️🏴
Have you thought to do a documentary video of Barbra Hutton? She was also another poor rich girl! Gloria Vanderbilt would be another interesting rich girl story.
I miss the ‘70’s Jet Set. They truly were like the Greek Gods to us. It was a different world back then. Ps. Freight is pronounced frate…because, English. There is no explanation.
Jackie met Onassis through her sister Lee who was a previous mistress of Onassis. Lee was crushed that Onassis married Jackie and a their sisterly relationship deteriorated greatly.
@@tina8796 I don’t think Jackie was the willing victim. I think she found comfort by old Aristotle until the wedding. Then his character came to the surface
Sounds to me like she had a pretty normal life, which must have been much easier with so much money that she never had to worry about it and was pampered and treated like a princess the whole time, everyone's parents die when they are adults at some point and millions of people have pill addictions, none of those things make the life of a billionaire a tragedy - just imagine the millions of people who have lives just like this while being poor, now that would be sad.
I remember wishing somehow that I could have known Christina so I could have been her friend. I always felt sorry for her and I always thought that I would have been able to show her how to have fun without having money. I felt like my friends and I had it so much better in our lives. I think she would have had to question everyone who wanted to enter her life. I think her and her parents would have worried that friends would use her for her money. She had weight issues and she dealt with severe insecurities. She Always seemed so sad and lonely.
Imagine being a billionaire? Having all that income to make a most extraordinary life. Unfortunately for her, it appears that money does equates happiness. But it's nice to have.
This is a really really sad story. To think that the only Onassis I ever heard about was not really an Onassis. All the good people with humanity died tragically. Most likely, foul play by the hands of the horrible power and money hungry people, who sadly rule the world today. The Onassis are all united today, Happy.
@@tchrisou812 all stats on how money relates to quality of life show that the rich have vastly happier/healthier lives than the poor or average in general. There are stats on almost everything these days, we dont have to guess anymore. The funny thing is statistical results almost always confirm what common sense already told us about whatever subject we're examining.
@@joejones9520 I read somewhere that in the US happiness went up for working people until $75k per year and then more income was less impactful and time became the preferred method of happiness for working people. When it comes to ultra rich people I can only go by what I have experienced, which is near nothing. I agree with you on statistics, but I don't see a lot of people following the information. I side with Mark Twain on common sense. “Common sense is the little man in a gray suit who never makes a mistake in addition. But it’s always somebody else’s money he’s adding up.”
Her life was all over the tabloids, I remember feeling sorry for her because she was so awkward and unhappy. I'm glad her daughter has managed a good life with her horse activities. I believe she married a fellow equestrian. P.S. I also remember that Christina HATED Jackie Kennedy!
You all ever been addicted to Diet Coke? I was, and I have no flipping issue that she sent a plane to the US for some. You can't start your day w out a Diet Coke. If you get stressed, you need a Diet Coke. If you're stoked - Diet Coke. It feels like it clears your head. I truly believe anyone addicted who could make that happen would make it happen. It's incredibly difficult to kick - I haven't had one in years, but I still think about it.
Athena is married and when she got married she requested that everyone should donate to a charity instead of sending her money or gifts. And yes she was the bread and butter to her dead beat dad until she came of age she did support him and his other family and girlfriend - wife.😡🤬 And the Onassis family was livid but kept a tight grip on the purse too
This was indeed a tragic lifestyle. We wish for lots of money but money does not bring happiness. Have you ever covered Anna Nicole Smith? I am sure you have heard of her but that might not be old enough for you. Just a thought.
Not a-cli-ma-tizing It's ack-kla-may-ting I remember when Christina use to fly Pepsi Cola in crates to Skorpios. Just Pepsi Cola. Not even fries & hamburgers! Money doesn't spare you from misery. Nice to see Christina remembered. Her daughter - Athena - is doing very well. She looks like her mother. Thanks for this!
I did see another video where it mentioned that Christina believed that the Onassis family had inherited the “Kennedy Curse” I really can’t say I believe in curses but that probably fueled her hatred for her stepmom even more. It is sad because it seems like Christina was starting to take the first step towards a more peaceful and happier life by contemplating relocating to Argentina with her daughter.
Their marriage was more like a business deal, not a love affair. He needed Jackie's elegant style and behavior to smooth out his rough persona, to.make him more acceptable-- and Jackie needed money, protection for herself and her children, and someplace far away from the United States as diversion from thoughts of life with the Kennedys. The deal worked out satisfactorily for both Jacqueline and Onassis. Not gold digging, just an smart deal by a smart woman.
Please let her rest in peace, I never did like those stories about them or anyone else, and she hated Jackie. And she had no real friends they all used her.
Alexander sure was handsome. What a horrible end. His death just destroyed that family and Christina was thrust into the position of suddenly being the heir to the business and family fortune. Who raised little Athena? Poor kid. I do hope she's found some solace in her horses.
Rather be unhappy with 500 million dollars than unhappy with nothing....me thinks.[EDIT] But..what a sad tragedy in that family..just like the Kennedy's, there is no end with early deaths.
Aristotle Onassis' conspiracy theory sounds like what Mohammed Al Fayed was thinking almost 25 years later when Dodi Al Fayed was thinking upon the death of his with Princess Diana in 1997.
I remember Christina. She always looked terribly sad even behind the facade of a smile. She was used by everybody. She would have been far happier and funny if she were born to a middle class family. The day she died was a sad day as i felt she was nowhere near fulfilled in her life, except for having Athena for three short years. I'm not surprised Athena's father dipped into her fortune. The cad would have tried to take the lot if he could.
Rest In Peace Christina 🙏🕊
That's why Christina put Athina's inheritance in a trust monitored by the Greek government until she turned 18 because she knew Athina's father would squander it all. The Greek government was debating on giving it to her because she had no interest in Greek culture or the language.
i worked at LAX AIRPORT in 1970s n 80s and used to see Christina coming through. she was polite, pretty and sadly surrounded by hangers-on who were always asking for something from her, like money and tankers! she would be chugging a small bag of m&m candies and saying to anyone who would listen, this is my only pleasure- they wont leave me alone for a minute (referring to the Russian ex husband and others trying to get her money). I wish she had people who had protected her instead.
I will not feel sorry for the rich Onassis Daughter (Christina). Alexander her brother died in a plane wreck. Christina abused her body and died too young!
Too much money is as dangerous as not enough money.

That and many of the mega rich (several mentioned in this video) follow a religion that teaches you that you have a second chance at making Heaven after you die. A lie form the pits of Hell.

Maybe not, but it sure makes life easier to not have to worry about bills, food, mortgages etc.

Sounds to me like she had a pretty normal life, which must have been much easier with so much money that she never had to worry about it and was pampered and treated like a princess the whole time, everyone's parents die when they are adults at some point and millions of people have pill addictions, none of those things make the life of a billionaire a tragedy - just imagine the millions of people who have lives just like this while being poor, now that would be sad.
Always fab...😊
I remember wishing somehow that I could have known Christina so I could have been her friend. I always felt sorry for her and I always thought that I would have been able to show her how to have fun without having money. I felt like my friends and I had it so much better in our lives. I think she would have had to question everyone who wanted to enter her life. I think her and her parents would have worried that friends would use her for her money. She had weight issues and she dealt with severe insecurities. She Always seemed so sad and lonely.
It looks like Athena,has decided to accomplish,lots of things,so maybe a stronger character 👍
Thanks!
she had striking good looks, like Paloma Picasso or Anjelica Huston.
she didn't see it that way though.
Her looks were very homely sorry, she wasn’t very attractive. She looked like her father.
I would not be surprised, if her mother actually did what you said.
I remember when she passed away. At that time her death was reported as a suicide.
Imagine being a billionaire? Having all that income to make a most extraordinary life. Unfortunately for her, it appears that money does equates happiness. But it's nice to have.
Be happy little Athena and love God.😊
She had sanpaku eyes 😮
Yes. I’m sure the family was deep into the occult. Mandatory under the Jesuit Order.
This is a really really sad story. To think that the only Onassis I ever heard about was not really an Onassis. All the good people with humanity died tragically. Most likely, foul play by the hands of the horrible power and money hungry people, who sadly rule the world today. The Onassis are all united today, Happy.
Interesting video
I'll bet the daughter of Christina O. Is much more down to earth because of her connection to horses! I hope so!
THAT'S what's familiar. Onassis sounds like Fayed after Diana & Dodi died.
I'm starting to see a trend in the ultra rich and heirs and heiresses. Many are miserable and die young.
most are happy and live long healthy lives; we only hear about the rare bad cases.
@@joejones9520 That is a fair point. I may be using reverse survivorship bias in my logic.
@@tchrisou812 all stats on how money relates to quality of life show that the rich have vastly happier/healthier lives than the poor or average in general. There are stats on almost everything these days, we dont have to guess anymore. The funny thing is statistical results almost always confirm what common sense already told us about whatever subject we're examining.
@@joejones9520 I read somewhere that in the US happiness went up for working people until $75k per year and then more income was less impactful and time became the preferred method of happiness for working people. When it comes to ultra rich people I can only go by what I have experienced, which is near nothing. I agree with you on statistics, but I don't see a lot of people following the information. I side with Mark Twain on common sense. “Common sense is the little man in a gray suit who never makes a mistake in addition. But it’s always somebody else’s money he’s adding up.”
Hey Nico! Love your work! Would love to see you venture into Latino profiles. Thanks for all you do!
So tragic. Too much money. No happiness.
Can you do a video about gia carangi please ?
Her life was all over the tabloids, I remember feeling sorry for her because she was so awkward and unhappy. I'm glad her daughter has managed a good life with her horse activities. I believe she married a fellow equestrian. P.S. I also remember that Christina HATED Jackie Kennedy!
Well done. 🇬🇷
Money brings its own set of problems, very tragic events for one family 😢
You all ever been addicted to Diet Coke? I was, and I have no flipping issue that she sent a plane to the US for some. You can't start your day w out a Diet Coke. If you get stressed, you need a Diet Coke. If you're stoked - Diet Coke. It feels like it clears your head. I truly believe anyone addicted who could make that happen would make it happen. It's incredibly difficult to kick - I haven't had one in years, but I still think about it.
She DID have Sankapoh eyes
Athena is married and when she got married she requested that everyone should donate to a charity instead of sending her money or gifts. And yes she was the bread and butter to her dead beat dad until she came of age she did support him and his other family and girlfriend - wife.😡🤬 And the Onassis family was livid but kept a tight grip on the purse too
Sad 🙏
What a tragic tale
This was indeed a tragic lifestyle. We wish for lots of money but money does not bring happiness.
Have you ever covered Anna Nicole Smith? I am sure you have heard of her but that might not be old enough for you. Just a thought.
Not a-cli-ma-tizing
It's ack-kla-may-ting
I remember when Christina use to fly Pepsi Cola in crates to Skorpios. Just Pepsi Cola. Not even fries & hamburgers!
Money doesn't spare you from misery.
Nice to see Christina remembered. Her daughter - Athena - is doing very well. She looks like her mother. Thanks for this!
I remember most of my growing up. Constantly in the gossip rags.
She paid Jacqueline Kennedy ( later Onassis) about 21 Million to get rid of her in 1976! Christina was spoiled and she died way too young!
I did see another video where it mentioned that Christina believed that the Onassis family had inherited the “Kennedy Curse” I really can’t say I believe in curses but that probably fueled her hatred for her stepmom even more. It is sad because it seems like Christina was starting to take the first step towards a more peaceful and happier life by contemplating relocating to Argentina with her daughter.
how is it Jackie isn't remembered for being a golddigger?
Their marriage was more like a business deal, not a love affair.
He needed Jackie's elegant style and behavior to smooth out his rough persona, to.make him more acceptable-- and Jackie needed money, protection for herself and her children, and someplace far away from the United States as diversion from thoughts of life with the Kennedys.
The deal worked out satisfactorily for both Jacqueline and Onassis.
Not gold digging, just an smart deal by a smart woman.
Please let her rest in peace, I never did like those stories about them or anyone else, and she hated Jackie. And she had no real friends they all used her.
Alexander sure was handsome. What a horrible end. His death just destroyed that family and Christina was thrust into the position of suddenly being the heir to the business and family fortune. Who raised little Athena? Poor kid. I do hope she's found some solace in her horses.
I have read that her father blamed Jackie for her death saying anyone associated with the Kennedys were cursed. He also lost his son in a plane crash
Rather be unhappy with 500 million dollars than unhappy with nothing....me thinks.[EDIT] But..what a sad tragedy in that family..just like the Kennedy's, there is no end with early deaths.
Everything went downhill after marrying a Kennedy. Hence... the Kennedy curse 💔
@@bbbb-db9gr Her father...I don't think that was hard to put together😒🤔
Both children were lovely looking
Both of their sons died in plane crashes
You narrate that other Chanel. Years ago. Do you have others?
Poor Christina. Forever jealous of Jackie.
Lotsa people envied Jackie's looks but it did not ruin their lives.
jackie had her own money. but she did want more security.
Ironic that bot jackie and onassis sun bot died in plane crash..
All weee involved in the "intelligent Agencies ".
It's giving poor little rich girl all over again
So even though we get by in middle class, family. This entire scenario is no coincidence, in my personal opinion
Ludwig I of Bavaria, please 💋
Alexander Onassis, and JFK Jr. had a similar fate.
Nah. Kennedy curse hit when Ari married jackie. Tainted and given place. Demons came in the designer luggage and found a new family to occupy.
I was at her funural ceremony at Agia Fotini Nea Smyrni Athens
The Photo of Christina and her parents she looks so unhapppy .
Interesting that you glossed over Sergei Kauzov’s single outstanding feature…
❤❤❤❤
She became a show jumper? Oh, this will not end well 😢
Those eyes are he dads. Bigger. Billy Joel's Daughter at 12.
It's the mega rich - that lose it
No family. Orphaned.
Too bad she didnt get her mothers looks.
Where is Athina now?
Go to Wikipedia for the answers
Aristotle Onassis' conspiracy theory sounds like what Mohammed Al Fayed was thinking almost 25 years later when Dodi Al Fayed was thinking upon the death of his with Princess Diana in 1997.
Dud her daughter receive all the money from the inheritances! I surely hope so that she could live a new life. 😊
How ironic that Alexander died in a plane crash just like John Kennedy Jr. 😢
They were both murdered
