Aristotle Onassis | Island

In today’s world, it is normal to hear about a wealthy entrepreneur or a popular celebrity purchasing their own private island. Back in the day, however, it wasn’t as easy to do. Aristotle Onassis was one of the first few people who bought a private island for their own use. It was back in 1986 when he placed investment money on Skorpios Island, which he later passed down to his daughter Athina.

It was a family asset that they probably held dear given all the family gatherings that have been held there. Just imagine all the memories they created! Athina sold it some decades later for around $150 million to Ekaterina Rybolovleva, though. But we’re sure the family’s happy memories still remain. He not only captured the heart of Jackie; he also captured all of our hearts with how enchanting this island of his was.
