Onassis rises from refugee to shipping magnate
The article traces Aristotle Onassis who arrived in Argentina in 1922 as a Greek refugee with $60. He built a tobacco trade then bought six surplus Canadian ships in 1930 for $120,000, launching a maritime empire that made him one of the world's wealthiest men and connected him with the Kennedy family. His marriages to Athina Livanos and later Jacqueline Kennedy are noted, as are his social ties to elite figures and the Christina yacht.
