[edit] Question

In 1896, when he was was born, wasn't Smyrna Greek? The Onassis family, who were wealthy tobacco dealers, lost their belongings when Turkey took Smyrna over in 1922, which is why Aristotle left. And is Smyrna now called Smyrna, or is it called Izmir? If this is right (I'll have to check) this should go over to his bio. -- Someone else 01:55 Jan 31, 2003 (UTC)

Smyrna was part of Turkey at that time, wasn't it? Even though the city was largely Greek at the time. -- Zoe

Got it, you're right, Greece only had it from 1919-1922. I think I've got it right in the article now. I also think Aristotle Onassis spent some time in South America but I will have to dig to find out doing what/when. -- Someone else 05:26 Jan 31, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] When was his birthday?

I've found both January 15 and January 19 when doing Google searches. RickK 23:47, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)

He was born in 1900, but preteneded he was born in 1906 to escape Turkey (it behooved him to say he was 16 when he was actually 24).

[edit] CTI?

What on earth is a member of CTI? --- CTI is an important pan-european organization with close ties to Italian maffia.

[edit] Onasis had Illuminati friends?

I was reading the article on Kennedy's Assassination Theories that Onasis had friends in the Illuminati. Can anyone elaborate and maybe include this in the article? --CanesOL79 02:45, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What is missing

The fact his daughter died.

Details of his huge shipping Empire - there are non.

kennedy intrigue and speculation

How big estimates of his wealth are

Athina and how she is to inherit through an on-going court case.

[edit] 1900 till 1975 = 69 years?

Someone should correct this...

If the above information is correct, his birth year is actually 1900 which would make him 74 or 75 on his death. Someone will need to verify whether the above is indeed the case. -57.69.9.19 21:46, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

It's 1906 in multiple sources. The date's right; I fixed the age at time of death reference. PacificBoy 16:30, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Most famous business magnate of the 20th century"?

I don't think so. Just because there is an article that says this, it doesn't mean that a statement such as "He is the most famous" is anything more than someone's personal opinion... 68.193.87.97 03:05, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

I came here to note exactly the same thing. "Most famous" is not an encyclopedic fact. JeramieHicks (talk) 20:22, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

We have already changed this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.19.0.155 (talk) 16:59, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
