Aristotle Onassis The Golden Greek

[aristotelino]

grande Ari! Peccato che l'unica sua nipote abbia perso tutta l'autentica grecita'...w la fondazione Alessandro Onassis!

[eckrich60]

Well, Alexander the Great didn't run out of real estate to conquer!

[R3DF00T]

Onassis was feeling grief over what he did to John Kennedy.

[TheElizabeth7724]

Jackie was just a hooker,she didn´t respect her kids especially joh jr,she was so ugly oh my God what the men see in her.She had an owl face.All the Kennedys deserved what happened to them except Jonh jr he was his mother´s victim.

[lilpancake]

Wow what a life.. it was a very exciting rich life filled with success and beautiful things and beautiful people but also a very sad life with the betrayals and death of loved ones... I'm glad that Athina who is the last remaining heiress of Onassis married for love and not for other reasons like fame and money. I wish her a long life full of love and happiness :)

[TheHogger129]

Onassis was Mafia. He was nothing more than a common criminal. Made his millions in "Turkish cigarettes" or what we know as opium. Drugs. That's how he distributed it was through his shipping line. In 1957, he devised the kidnapping of Howard Hughes, essentially assumed control of his empire by using doubles. I have no doubt in my mind he controlled the American Mafia and had the Kennedys killed because they doublecrossed him. Nixon was his too. So were LBJ and Ford.

The real "Godfather."

[TheHogger129]

He also made millions more through the Hughest Medical Institute, which was granted tax-exempt status through secret payoffs, etc, that Hughes made to his fixers in Washington back in 1956. (See the $205,000 loan to Don Nixon). That essentially allowed him a tax-free, off-the-books way to funnel money. Money laundering.

[SlaytanicSeries]

1.5 million in the FIRST YEAR!?

Fucking money hungry bitch!

Money is good, money and stupid people make this type of histories

[TheRachel33]

there are 2 kinds of women, the ones who follow their hearts, and the jackies who pretend to.

[rahya2008]

Sad.. no matter how super rich you are..can't save the marriage, can't save tragedies and can't save the kids!

[Onassis1979]

[denmasxe]

@binkydonna Where is the funny part...?

[Respuesta1111]

This woman (Jackie) was all fucking MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY and money....Got married with an OLD guy just because he was rich. She was cursed and brought bad luck to Kennedy. She was a whore.

[Onassis1979]

[GoldenGreekFilms]

Harry Agganis holds the title of the golden greek

[ad1997]

@GoldenGreekFilms who is Harry Agganis? whats his story? i couldnt find him on youtube??

[ticobiker2001]

Great summary!!

Thanks a lot|!

[beezerly1972]

Very nice video. Truly enjoyable. Just so you know, I uploaded the Onassis: Richest Man in the World movie, the Greek Tycoon movie, and the Onassis Biography. There are also 2 movies being released in 2011. One is based on the book, Greek Fire, and the other is based on the book, Onassis Women.

[Spikesp40]

Jackie loved money and Onassis loved celebrities. They deserved each other. However one must not judge them. She gave the US class and dignity and then went to live her own life away from the Kennedys. Onassis was a great enterpreneur no doubt but in the end money did not bring neither happiness. John Jr and Alexander both died because they were reckless, both in very similiar circunstances. Which family doesnt have its ups and downs ??? This is the staff oap-operas are made !!

[dimalex8]

@Spikesp40

alexander was assasinated, someone(most lickely a scottish) changed the stearing in the plane(when he turned right the plane turned left, up was down etch.) thats why untill today there is a paragraph in onassis will where it says that if anyone finds out who murdred his son he will be granted 1 mil. dollars(huge amount of money the time the will was written)

[denmasxe]

@Spikesp40 Alexandros and Christina died becaused they killed them, not because they were reckless !!

[snorben]

@Spikesp40 "One must not judge them!"Jackie manufactured the Camelot image-she gave the Us the ILLUSIOIN of class and dignity. She,JFK and Bobby screwed around and not just with each other but Marilyn Monroe. They behaved as if rules did not apply to them and are tawdry and vulgar> Onassis loved prostitutes and Jackie was the most expensive of the lot. ...vizOnassis by Nicholas Evans. the story of how Onassis paid for Bobby Kennedy's assassination.

[Inquisifury]

Onassis was a bisexual... and he made his wealth largely via illegal means. Nothing spectacular... He was quite lucky he lived in a time where regulation and control was minimal.

[47hitman474747]

he was at the right place the right time avoided war that fucked up us here in Greece and with luck he became what he became... actualy none of us can do the same as in our days every shithead has "everything" and they dont let anyone grow bigger

[xxZaharoulaxx]

The Onassis estate is over $ 500 Billion Dollars ! Perhaps a Trillion Dollars !!??

[greekhoplites]

without a doubt and he made that from 63 dollars.

[greekhoplites]

do you guys kn ow where to watch the Aristotle's tale? this guy was amazing, from 63 dollars to a billion.

[CawaAzenjar]

fuck bill gates no match for the King onasis man

[elgirl6390]

Onassis the Best!

[Silvermoon4544]

Jaqueline Kennedy was ruthless and vulgar, she loved jewels and money, she never loved anyone else, May God save her soul.

[iLuvjeans]

Silvermoon4544...,

u dont know jackie at all...,

you had no idea what she'd been throughout her life...,

so u had no right to judge her....,because u don't know the whole story..,

just leave her alone......,and stop saying bad things to other people coz i bet u don't want it to happen to u....,what goes around comes back around.............

[silvermoon3333]

Hey iLuvjeans, you know, I know exactly what she went thru, it was all over the news in 1962 but that is not excuse to be classy with a touch of vulgarity. She treated Onassis terrible and JFK worse. During the white house period she had affairs just like JFK did.

[applesauce2100]

how do u know she was cheatin on JFK? that never came out before?

[silvermoon3333]

do not just watch one video. Read books and also videos but also pay attention. I have read many books on Jackie and was fascinated with her but reading the books I did read, I got very let down by her. There is only Caroline left and she, like her mother, collected millions at her death and then at the death of her brother, it is too bad that the Kennedys are very lovers of money, please buy books and watch videos, there you will see what went on after President Kennedy's assassination.

[snorben]

@applesauce2100 two words ..William Holden. It's dodgy to swallow anything the Kennedy s said or did to create their own legend,,look at how the circumstances of Monroe's death were fudged to protect bobby..look at how edward Kennedy behaved after Chappa quiddick..The Kennedys were all money,no morals..Jackie was certainly not the pin up girl of the US press when she defied the kennedys and went on the Christina..

[silvermoon3333]

ILuvjeans,

and I suppose you did know her real well, right? well, I have read books about this lady and also on Onassis and he was sorely unhappy to have married her in the end. Read some books and you will see what it says. She may have had all you say but what an unhappy life she led. I do not envy her life or millions at all, ill gotten money beckons tragedy.

[ahrensgay]

Do I detect a wee bit of jealousy here? Mrs. Onassis is , sadly dead. You, on the other hand , unfortnately, are not, but should be. Jackie had style, grace, beauty, fame, fortune, and class all the things you are sorely lacking. If only you could take Mrs. Onassis's place...You, dead, and Jacqueline alive, then, ALL would be right with the world!!

[snorben]

@Silvermoon4544 she was quoted as saying she'd put her hand in the fire for Bobby Kennedy..hee hee-she probably did a lot more than that!

[KendraWilk]

Okay, where was the part about Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis inheriting her lump some after the old-man kicked the bucket! "Jackie O" was rolling baby...

[mark23castlehill]

They should make a movie about this man

[TK2008BEST]

There r alreay some.

With Raul Julia, Anthony Quinn etc.

[tefisher1984]

Happy belated 103rd birthday Aristotle Onassis!

[yankee22167]

he felt use?,lol...how else could he get these women?...lets face it the man is an ugly grole.

[JimmyTheGreek2000]

Money talks..... nobady walks ! (from the money .... that is!)

[Valapaca]

What a typical greek drama!!

The Onassis story is pretty impressive.

The good old days never die...

[JimmyTheGreek2000]

More like a 'Greek Tragedy' ..... and we have had many over the centuries!

[gyrene1966]

LOL Well said Jimmy, μπραβο.

[doddsalfa]

Onassis The Golden Greek!Under that golden color was plastic.

[lakepoet]

Maria Callas wasn't born in NYC. She was the 'other [famous] Greek', born in Greece.

[lakepoet]

Actually, after checking, she was born in NYC. My recollection was false. Great presentation, thanks

[JimmyTheGreek2000]

She was born in NYC and her real name is Maria Callogeropoulos. Callas was her stage name.

[MyiahFord]

Very well put together considering the speediness of the script. Thanks.  Very interesting.

[lsophial]

WAOOOOOOOOOOOO, ARGENTINA, YOU MADE ONASIS, WELL, HE MADE HIMSLEF IN BUENOS AIRES.

Fantastic history and a very argentine looking Onasis!

[MANILABOY6631]

Yes, thats true. He started out as a stevedore.

[sicPurityProsthetics]

jackie kinda sounds like paris hilton back then?

I mean ive never really looked into her life or anything. but how she is portrayed here.

marries a rich guy she probaably didnt care for, cheats, excessive spending, doesnt care if her husband is with another woman (maria callas RIP <33 amazing woman btw)..

[xxZaharoulaxx]

Will Athina Onassis sell Skorpios Island to Madonna ?

[mebrowneyedgirl]

my GOD!!! i hope this will never happen!

[bette1908]

if it does its no ones business!!! and besides that was a couple of years ago. nothing has been said about it since. why would she want to be alone on that island with four dead people anyway?

[mebrowneyedgirl]

man it'm my business since i am greek.. i don't want famous stars have greek islands in their property! not even greek stars! the islands are property of the greek people and noone should own them! it is wrong!

[bette1908]

Skorpios belongs to Athina and she can do with it whatever she wishes

[mebrowneyedgirl]

sure whatever. I would rather have Athina keep the island than sell it to madonna. And i think she is clever enough not to

[bette1908]

at least if Madonna bought it she would visit it, which is something athina cant be bothered doing

[airwave089]

Athina was just a story, part of greek mythology

[bette1908]

Athina Onassis??

[airwave089]

o, srry, i thought that they talked about athina the greek goddess. i didnt pay attention to the whole thing lol

[xxZaharoulaxx]

Athina Onassis = over $ 500 Billion Dollars !

[mary3033]

Yeah, I think that he just used women like trophies. Yeah, he was just about money. There is a new book about them that just came out. I looked for it at the bookstore, but they didn't have it. Did you hear about it?

[mary3033]

No, I never saw that play, but I would love to. What you said about Maria having class, what exactly do you mean? I think that Maria had talent, and was actually a genius to be able to do what she did. I personaly never liked Jackie, because I feel that she portrays a certain image of womanhood that I don't like. But, you are right, it's too bad she couldn't find a nice man who loved and accepted her.

[Lambchop47]

I mean that Maria was a classy person. She seemed like a real lady. Not only a great talent, but a sweet person too -- a person who knew how to treat people.

But not Onassis. He was awful to his wife Tina, he was awful to Maria, and he was awful to Jackie too. I don't think he treated any of the women in his life very well.

He was just about money. Not that there's anything wrong with being rich. But he was just a jerk!

If you get a chance to see Masterclass, you'll love it!

[bette1908]

he treated Christina like SHIT and she was his daughter. he never gave that girl the time of day until she was the only child he had left. her damn mother was the same way

[anianiket]

@mary3033

she portrays a certain image of womanhood that I don't like

i agree

[mary3033]

Yeah Lambchop47, I agree! Maria Callas had a great, God given gift of creating beauty. All Onassis had was money! Big deal! All of his money cannot equal one aria my Maria! He ended up being like all the rest--just marryingfor the pedigree, and the all-american looks. Btw, also, no offense, but Jackie Kennedy was not brilliant and talented like Maria!

[Lambchop47]

You're right, Mary. Maria Callas was very talented. Did you ever see Masterclass, the play about her life? It was wonderful.

I've always liked Jackie, but it was wrong of Onassis to marry her. He was awful to Maria Callas.

Maria had more class in her little finger than he had in his whole body. I wish she could have found a nice man. Onassis was so not worthy of her.

[bette1908]

Jackie married beneath herself both times

[MANILABOY6631]

I don't mean to sound ignorant but what did you mean by this comment ? Thanks bette.

[bette1908]

I meant that Jackie never should have married the men she married. She was too good for both of them. the first one couldnt keep his hands off other women & the second only wanted her for a trophy

[MANILABOY6631]

I agree. She weathered them both in more ways than one. It wasn't easy, but she did.

[mary3033]

In fact, a man like him didn't deserve a woman as great as Maria Callas!

[Lambchop47]

I agree! All Onassis ever gave Maria Callas was a lot of grief.

She should have kicked him to the curb.

[mary3033]

Big deal! So, he loved money and was a womanizer. Maria Callas is a noblewoman compared to him. He is nothing compared to her.

[Solowizard]

It's not about looks but......

Aristotle has the ugliest daughter of all the Billionaires. Athina married a brazilian guy who is one of the world's richest kept men because of her.

[iriswigle]

How old are you? There is a difference between beautiful and pretty but Athina was not ugly. She chose to be plain. She hated beautiful because it defined superficial. She could have had plastic surgery and plunging necklines. As far as Aristotle being a billionaire...wasn't it all just on paper shared with several other so called millionaires?

[Solowizard]

iriswigle,

You said,

"There is a difference between beautiful and pretty but Athina was not ugly. She chose to be plain. She hated beautiful because it defined superficial."

I say, LOL,LOL,LOL,LOL,LOL,LOL!!!!!!

That's a new one. An ugly person chose to be ugly! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThaSilverSurfer]

AWESOME video, an amazing man who lived with passion,vigor and bravado. thanks again

[shiroukbah]

You can't help but admire Ari's spunk and ambition. But what a DEPRESSING tragedy his life was. And the heartbreak for Maria! Too much.

I love Nicholas Gage's book "Greek Fire" which tells the story well.

[marioj300]

MAFIA!!!!

[aensilysh]

Good looking boy hey!

[islam4eternity]

I have been looking here on YouTube a documentary about his life which was once showed at the History Channel, but I haven't found it eyet. I would appreciate if one of you would let me know please.

Thanks,

Maxumah

[RodneyJRose]

Ari lied about his age both to avoid military service and jail in the troubles. He was actually born in 1900 despite his papers. This is well known. Edit your vid man, important to be correct.

[Kewmars1]

Very nice. Thank you.

[EllinikiKardia]

You are welcome.

[southpark305]

You need to get your dates right. I've read many books on Aristo and he was not born in 1906. He was born in 1900. His gravestone bears the wrong year, but his funeral didn't.

[Yanni75]

Again, liked it. Only once did I have to freeze playback, and for a long time, but that's only because Marilyn Monroe's image appeared. He he.

And although Aristo loved La Callas, I am not sure if he would have opted for classical music to accompany his biography. To tsifteteli pou einai, Aleksardre ? ;-))

[EllinikiKardia]

Thank you for your input and clever comments.
