Once again in its 82-year history, the emblematic yacht of Aristotle Onassis, the Christina O, is going up for sale, with a price tag of 90 million euros.
If it does secure a buyer, it will be a record price for a yacht of its age.
The 99-meter vessel was built in 1943 as a Canadian warship and participated in World War II naval battles and D-Day.
Onassis bought it in 1954 and invested $4 million (which, adjusted to today’s prices, amounts to $50 million) to turn it into a yacht, naming it after his daughter.
Nowadays the yacht secures annual revenues of €10 million through its leasing and net profits of about €5 million.
