Athina Helene Onassis Roussel (born January 29, 1985) is a French-Greek heiress, the only surviving descendant of Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, and the sole heir of Aristotle's daughter Christina Onassis, who inherited 55% of his fortune. The remaining 45%, minus the $26 million left to Onassis' widow Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, was left to the Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation, established in honor of Aristotle's late son, and Athina's uncle. The two halves of the fortune are separately managed. Despite keen investigation by the media, the extent of Onassis' wealth remains unknown.
Onassis married Brazilian Olympic showjumper Álvaro de Miranda Neto in 2005. She was a competitive show jumper, under the name Athina Onassis de Miranda, until her divorce in 2016.
Born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, Onassis is the only child of Christina Onassis (1950–1988) and her fourth husband, Thierry Roussel, a French pharmaceutical heir and brother of Christine Hélène, the current duchess of Luynes by her marriage with Jean d'Albert, 12th duc de Luynes. Prior to her December 2005 marriage, her legal name was Athina Roussel. However, upon marrying Alvaro Alfonso de Miranda Neto, she took the name "Athina de Miranda" and soon afterwards legally added the Onassis name. In equestrian events, she is usually listed as "Athina Onassis de Miranda", "Athina de Miranda", or "Athina Onassis Miranda".
Athina's parents were married only briefly, from 1984 to 1987. They divorced after Roussel's mistress, Swedish model Marianne "Gaby" Landhage, became pregnant with their second child. Athina was born 12 years after the death of her uncle Alexander, 11 years after the death of the grandmother after whom she was named, Athina "Tina" Livanos, and ten years after the death of grandfather Aristotle. Athina was just three years old when her mother Christina died of pulmonary edema in November 1988. After her mother's death, she was raised by her father and Landhage, whom Roussel later married.
