Good read
It’s amazing how being a billionaire is not so easy. Athina’s husband cheated on her for most of their married years. Sad in itself, but she ended up a very bitter young woman.

If you are interested by the family,I would recomended
I Love biografies, I found the story interesting, but the author is a bit repetitive in some points. The first half of the book for me was much more interesting than the rest

A cautionary tale
This book contains material from the Authors first book on Athina but continues with the story of her divorce and the authors part in it. It paints Athina as rather heartless. In defense of her putting her talented mare down when the mare broke her leg in disastrous jump - it is extremely difficult to save horses with shattered legs. Even with successful surgery the horses can succumb during rehab as their other legs develop painful debilitating laminitis. Both racing world and show jumping are very hard on horses. Athina was groomed from childhood in that world and in my opinion it's a tough cruel worldThe Author seemed very skillful in the work he did for the Roussel family. It's clear it's a quagmire working for the rich. Easy to be impressed by the lavish surroundings or the hope that you will be included in the "inner circle". This is the bait that the very rich often exude towards those hardworking people who fall for working for them But the book shows that this "exclusive realm" is very dysfunctional. The best policy is honest work for honest wages. Clear contracts for work done and set clear boundaries. Don't neglect family friends or ones own lifeAnd don't be overly impressed by the rich. Only work for those who value your expertise and pay accordingly. Don't delude yourself that you are family.I think this book is valuable antidote for idealizing the rich and famous. Glad the author wrote it as it had to have been a very painful experience

Could have been a good story
Sorry, folks, but whoever was the editor should be ashamed! The quality of the writing is terrible, the subject matter so scattered and difficult to get from point A to B....jumping from one topic to another with no ryhmn me reason!

Page turner
Great book and very eye opening. Always wanted to know more about Athina Onassis since little is ever written about her and her upbringing and life now.
