Last Onassis Selling $16M Family Jewels

The granddaughter and only surviving descendant of Aristotle Onassis is selling the family treasures. Athina Roussel, 23, is auctioning off her $16 million jewelry collection, including a $4.4 million 38-carat diamond, and a Faberge Buddha valued at  $700,000, reports the New York Daily News.

Athina—who was just 3 years old when her mother, Christina Onassis, died—once vowed she would give away her fortune. She doesn't need the money the auction will raise—she inherited $2 billion when she turned 21. She was raised by her father, former French playboy Thierry Roussel, but they're now estranged.    (More Aristotle Onassis stories.)
