Onassis heiress gives Brazilian boyfriend a cow

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) -- 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. The world's richest teenager, Athina Roussel, 18, paid $320,000 for a prize cow called Esperanca (Hope) at a cattle auction in Sao Paulo, Brazil, 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 teenager.

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.

2. Her mother had plastic surgery as well
to augment her eyes.

I hope she doesn't end up like her mother... this whole thing of buying expensive toys for her boyfriend isn't a good sign....the Woolworth heiress did the same thing to try and gain love...its just really sad.

3. My guess is.......
Her 30 year-old (married) boyfriend called her FAT! Signs of a manipulative relationshp! Why is the world-s richest 18 year-old hanging out with a playboy horse man? Shouldn't she be in university, meeting horny 18 year-old men?
