Onassis

An Extravagant Life
Book • 1978
This book provides a comprehensive look at the life of Aristotle Onassis, a Greek shipping magnate known for his ambitious and often ruthless business practices.

It covers his rise from a refugee to a wealthy tycoon, his high-profile relationships with women such as Maria Callas and Jackie Kennedy, and his feuds with other powerful figures like Stavros Niarchos and Grace Kelly.

The biography also delves into Onassis's questionable business ethics, including a whaling operation scandal and conflicts with the US government.

The book is described as a fast-moving and entertaining read, though some reviewers noted it lacked in-depth details about certain aspects of Onassis's life and business dealings.
