Aristotle Sokratis Onassis (Greek: ΑÏιστοτÎλης Ωνάσης, Aristotelis Onasis; 15 January 1906 - 15 March 1975), commonly called Ari or Aristo Onassis, was a prominent Greek-born Argentine shipping magnate.
Onassis was born in Karatass, a suburb of Smyrna (now Ä°zmir, Turkey) to Socrates and Penelope Onassis (née Dologu), who married Socrates at the age of 17. Onassis had one full-sister, Artemis, and two half-sisters, Kalliroi and Merope, by his father's second marriage following Penelope's death, at the age of 33. Socrates Onassis came from the village of Moutalasski (now named Talas), near Cappadocia in Asia Minor, which is the present-day Kayseri province, in central Turkey. A successful shipping entrepreneur, he was able to send his children to prestigious schools. At the age of 16, Aristotle Onassis spoke four languages: Greek (his native language), Turkish, Spanish, and English, when he graduated from the local Evangelical Greek School .
