.A.GallardoIt was the island mansion of the Onassis but who is the owner of Skorpios, the most photographed private island, refuge for years of Jackie Kennedy
This Ionian enclave was bought by a Russian millionaire, Ekaterina Rybolovleva, the daughter of billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev (owner of Monaco) and the wife of a Uruguayan senator, who also has no problems with his current account, Juan Sartori. Skorpios was sold in 2013 by Athina Onassis, the lover’s granddaughter, for 100 million pounds (about 120 million euros). Since then the couple has been investing to make this 1 square kilometer island west of Leucade, north of the entrance to the Gulf of Patras, more ‘theirs’. Officially it has 1 inhabitant, the main guard. Aristotle Onassis bought this island for his daughter Cristina, the result of his first marriage to Athina Livanos (also from a boat-building family), who died at the age of 37 in 1988. Who enjoyed the place the most was Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis, the widow of the dejected president who in 1968 married the billionaire. The best beach on the island is named after her and it is where her remains rest as well as those of her owners. Since he could not keep Monaco in his fist when Rainier escaped from his control, Aristotle Onassis created his own country, his island that was the hub of business and parties during his five-year splendor. So that its beaches could be enjoyed, the fine sand was brought from the Egyptian coast. When its current owner acquired it, Skorpios had three mansions, a historic temple, a beach club to celebrate everything that was necessary and a pier. The forest in the interior of the island was forged by a first class gardening team. Cruises from Leucada and Meganissi offer excursions to Skorpios but without anchoring on the island. No one can swim at Jackie’s beach unless invited by the owner and that’s not going to happen. Rybolovleva would surely have enjoyed this corner more than her previous owner, Athina, daughter of Cristina Onassis, was only on the island twice before getting rid of it with the millionaire owner. The one who was heir is now 46 years old and she is available to visit the cemetery to honor her mother and her grandfather. Athina prefers to live between Paris and New York and maintain her love of horse riding, with her block based in the Netherlands. Years ago she participated in tests in the province of Cadiz, in the Montenmedio meadow, and was a regular in Marbella, keeping a low profile. For her, the idyllic Skorpios is a name that resonates ghostly.
