Unlike many of his reclusive peers in that small realm of the super-super-rich, Onassis knew how to spend as lavishly as he earned. Known around the world as "Ari" or "Daddy-O" (his Greek friends, however, called him "Telis," the diminutive of Aristotle), he was the prime mover of the jet set. He had residences in half a dozen cities, an Ionian island of his own and an elegant art collection. He boasted the world's most lavish yacht, the Christina, a 325-ft. rebuilt Canadian frigate complete with sumptuous bathrooms lined in Siena marble and fitted...
Belly Dancers. After the honeymoon, the marriage was filled with what one intimate of Ari's called "the nights of long silences." Jackie loved concerts, ballet and theater; Onassis preferred raucous bouzouki music, belly dancers and at times the company of roistering Greek businessmen. Much of the time they lived separate lives; Jackie had visited her husband, who had been in the hospital for five weeks, a few days earlier but was in New York City last week at the time of his death.

In residence, madame in her marble bathroom (with porcelain bidet) will never be embarrassed by window-cleaning voyeurs: the floor-to-ceiling solar-glass windows are washed by peekless mechanical equipment. Ari's aerie is located on the razed site of the old beloved Best & Co. store, where generations of middle-class New Yorkers trudged to outfit their children before each school season. Now, commuting between down-tower office on 19 and cloudland condominium on 48, errant Olympians face only one major...
...their way to Egypt for a trip up the Nile to see the pyramids, Jackie Onassis along with Caroline and John Kennedy stopped off at Husband Ari's Paris apartment. One evening they sallied out to the Palais des Congrés to see the visiting Russian folk ballet Berkiozka and during the intermission went backstage to meet the cast. Jackie was so taken by the great big bear who is a traditional member of the troupe that she asked him to dance. So, with a growl, the bear obliged, sweeping a beaming Mrs. Onassis into his furry arms...
