Where is onassis daughter

She was then shuttled off to live with her father and his girlfriend — whom he had been having an affair with during the time he was married to her mother. At Christmastime in , a third tomb was opened next to those of Aristotle and Alexandros Onassis on Skorpios. Athina visited the island a few times in the following years to visit the graves of her legendary family.

Competing just two years ago in a show jumping event in Athens, she still devotes a great deal of time and money to the sport. When she was married to Brazilian Alvaro de Miranda Neto, also known as Doda, years ago, she invested a large sum of money in a huge ranch there. The couple married in — when Athina was only 20 years old — but they had known each other for many years from show jumping competitions. Reports at the time said that Doda would be paid alimony of , euros per month according to he stipulations of a pre-nuptial agreement.

The prenup would also give the Brazilian a one-time payment 11 million euros, plus all the horses the couple had bought and bred together over the course of their year-long marriage. According to reports out of the German magazine Bunte. The Greek tabloid newspaper Espresso reported that the two parties had reached an agreement which left the year-old Athina with her fortune mostly intact. Neither she nor Doda attended the legal proceedings in person, being represented by their lawyers.

No money, no problem. Within days, however, her father had taken control of it. He managed to obtain power of attorney from his daughter, which gave him authority to supervise her estate. I asked to see the letters or to have Roussel provide a written statement formally making that assertion, but neither was forthcoming. A year before she turned 18, Athina, in a dramatic move for such a dependent child, left her home outside Geneva and moved to Brussels to pursue her passion for riding.

She enrolled at a school run by the renowned Brazilian equestrian Nelson Pessoa, where, her friends say, she met Alvaro de Miranda Neto, the Brazilian Olympic show jumper whose team had won bronze medals in Sydney in and in Atlanta in What she did not know at first was that Alvaro had long been involved with a Brazilian model close to his own age named Sibele Dorsa, with whom he had a baby daughter named Viviane.

Sibele had grown tired of living in Brussels and returned to Brazil with the stated intention of joining the cast of the Brazilian version of the TV show Big Brother. Our only problem was money, and Doda is useless with money. What he earns, he spends. He is a charismatic, persuasive man. She will hang on his every word, but she will learn, as I have. But Athina had found her first great love, and restrictions on her buying power were the last thing on her mind. She had never been interested in jewelry or couture clothing.

Her only extravagance was horses, and the bitterest memory of her childhood, according to one friend, was when her father refused to give her half a million dollars to buy a champion horse she had her heart set on. In the first rush of love, the couple led a simple life in Brussels, going to films and inexpensive restaurants, spending most of their time in grueling training sessions.

Ricardo Lemos, who is noted for making Brazilian women thong-ready. An assistant of Dr. Ten months later Athina and Alvaro were vacationing in Uruguay at Punta del Este, where they reportedly spent four days in the presidential suite of the Conrad resort and casino. The heiress, who also speaks French, English, and Swedish, is said to have the same facility for languages that her grandfather had. Aristotle Onassis spoke six. Then she began looking for a house to buy.

At first, Kotronakis says, they considered marrying on Skorpios, where her grandfather wed Jacqueline Kennedy 37 years ago. A skeleton staff of 10 live on the island, keeping it always ready in case Athina should decide to visit—something that has happened only four times during the last 17 years, the most recent in At the suggestion of Kotronakis, they are considering having a Greek Orthodox priest as well as a Catholic prelate.

Alvaro and Thierry Roussel were both born into Roman Catholic families. Gaby and her three children are Protestant. When she learned that her father had tied her purse strings, a flash of the famous Onassis temper, frequently displayed by her mother and her grandfather, burst out. Athina demanded an accounting of her assets, and the information she received from her father did not satisfy her, according to sources close to the principals in the case.

A team of lawyers headed by senior partner Nick Pearson moved immediately in Chancery Court to nullify the power of attorney that Athina had unwittingly given her father and to try to freeze her assets.

Neither law firm would confirm or deny anything about the case. Athina, meanwhile, knowing what a scene would ensue if she showed up in Athens to watch her lover compete, kept strategically out of sight in Belgium.

He looked around to see if there were any photographers nearby, then smiled sheepishly, signed his name as requested, and quickly walked away. This was supposed to be refined and drafted over the next month, and both sides were scheduled to meet in October and sign it, but Roussel failed to appear.

The struggle with her father took its toll on Athina. She continued to talk to Roussel on the telephone, but their conversations often became acrimonious, one friend says.
