It always amazes me that people who have the most money seem to be the least happiest.

A true socialite, but there are sad undertones in every story.

I enjoyed this book very much. The writing was easy to follow and well laid out on the characters that were involved. I've known the name Christina and of course the marriage between her father & Jackie but was so surprised by the wealth of information given in this book. And saddened also, a woman that could have and did have anything she wanted yet could never find happiness and was always searching. Very sad. The one thing I am left wondering about washer she passed away. This book left it that she had overdosed, yet online I found a site that says she had a heart attack. And poor Athena, left behind ..

A very good, eye opening biography of perhaps one of the saddest women I have ever read. Shows that no amount of money can change the unhappiness inside. I enjoyed the way the book was based on facts and evidence, not written like a gossip column with vague reference to sources. I've read quite a bit about Christina and some of the antidotes here I had read before... who was quoting who I cannot tell but this was by far the best of the biographies about her short and tragic life.

Again, not a big “bio” reader here, but this one was a good one and read in a day or so. This should show anyone that money (all the money in the world and more than you can ever spend) doesn’t buy happiness. Definitely worth a read!l

It's a really sad story and really hits home that money has absolutely nothing to do with happiness.

Money can't by love and happiness. A very sad story.

Biography of Christina Onassis. Just shows us that money actually makes a lot of problems for a person. Sad story really. Good book and I am glad I read it.
