In the smoldering ruins of Smyrna in 1922, a young boy named Aristotle Onassis faced a world torn apart by fire and loss. Six family members vanished, his home reduced to ashes, and his future was uncertain. But from that heartbreak grew a fierce determination, a hunger not just for survival, but to own everything life could offer. Aristotle's rise from a young refugee clutching a Nansen passport to a clever telephone operator eavesdropping on the secrets of Buenos Aires's richest businessmen is a story of grit, cunning, cleverness and ambition. Starting with a modest tobacco business, he soon built a colossal shipping empire that ruled the seas and shaped the global economy. He wasn't just after money-he chased power, prestige, and passion, winning the hearts of two of the most iconic women of his time: the elegant Jackie Kennedy and the mesmerizing opera star Maria Callas. But behind the glamour and fortune was a man haunted by personal loss and a relentless drive that came at a steep price. This book reveals the true story of Aristotle Onassis-not just the billionaire and social icon, but the man who chased everything: wealth, love, fame, and ultimately, his own complicated legacy. Are you ready to uncover the secrets behind the legend? Turn the page and meet Aristotle Onassis, the billionaire who chased everything, and paid the cost.
