Greek shipping magnate Heiress gives boyfriend a cow ( 2003-10-23 16:40) (Agencies)
The gift that the heiress of Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis chose for her Brazilian boyfriend may not match in elegance the flawless gems her grandfather poured on Jacqueline Kennedy.
But the price is quite high, for a cow. The world's richest teen-ager, Athina Roussel, 18, paid $320,000 for a prize cow called Esperanca (Hope) at a cattle auction in Sao Paulo on Monday night as a gift for her boyfriend -- Olympic horseman Alvaro Affonso de Miranda Neto, known as Doda, auction organizers said on Tuesday. Doda, 30, who was also at the auction, has a cattle farm. Local media said it was Roussel's first major deal in Brazil although she had visited the country several times earlier to see Doda. Tabloid newspapers say she also underwent liposuction in Brazil, famous for the cult of body-beautiful, earlier this year. On her 18th birthday, Roussel inherited an estimated $2.7 billion worth of cash, property, jewels, and other assets from the Onassis estate, to become the world's richest teen-ager. By comparison, a 40-carat diamond ring that was Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis'
engagement gift from Aristotle Onassis and valued at up to $600,000, sold for a
whopping $2.6 million at an auction of the former U.S. first lady's belongings
in 1996.
