Born Jacqueline Lee Bouvier on the 28th July 1929, in Southampton, New York USA, and came to prominence as the First Lady of the US, after her husband, John F. Kennedy became the 35th President of the United States. She passed away in 1994.

Have you ever wondered how rich Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was, at the time of her death? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Onassis’ net worth is as high as $50 million, an amount earned through her inheritance of the Kennedy family wealth, following the death of her husband, and later through her work as a book editor.

Jacqueline was the daughter of Wall Street stockbroker John Vernou Bouvier II, and Janet Norton Lee. Jacqueline was of mixed ancestry since her mother had Irish and her father Scottish, English, and French ancestry. She had a younger sister, Caroline Lee. She spent her early years in Manhattan and on the family estate, Lasata, located in East Hampton on Long Island. Growing up she was quite affectionate of her father, who also favored her over Caroline Lee. In the late ‘20s and early ‘30s, the family went through several difficulties, which resulted in the divorce of her parents. Her mother remarried to Hugh Dudley Auchincloss, Jr., and after a couple of years of refusing her stepfather, the two became rather fond of each other.

When it comes to her education, Jacqueline attended the Holton-Arms School in Northwest Washington, D.C for two years, and then enrolled at Miss Porter’s School in Farmington, Connecticut boarding school. She finished school as one of the top students and so was presented with the Maria McKinney Memorial Award for Excellence in Literature.

After high school, Jacqueline enrolled at Vassar College, in Poughkeepsie, New York, but didn’t stayed there long, as she spent her junior year abroad in France, studying at the University of Grenoble, and at the Sorbonne in Paris. After she returned to the USA, she transferred to George Washington University, from which she eventually obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in French Literature. During her time at George Washington University, she excelled in writing, and as a result received a twelve-month junior editorship at Vogue magazine, however, she stayed only one day at her post, since the lead editor told her to quit and return to Washington, apparently because he was concerned about her marriage prospects at the supposedly advanced age of 22!. There, she found a place for herself at Washington Times-Herald, and soon after she met John F. Kennedy and the two were married in 1953.

She helped him in a great way during his political campaigns from senator through to being elected the President of the United States in 1961, and she became the First Lady. During Kennedy’s tenure, Jacqueline used her influence as the First Lady to focus on arts and culture, while also restoring the White House. She took numerous trips across the globe on most foreign visits. She set foot in such countries as Austria, India, Pakistan, France, England, Italy, Turkey, Morocco, Venezuela, and Greece, among other countries. She didn’t often travel with her husband, but the two were in Dallas together, in an open car limousine, accompanied by motorcade, when John F. Kennedy was assassinated. His assassin was later identified as Lee Harvey Oswald, an ex- US Marine, who after discharging from forces apparently defected to the Soviet Union in 1959.

After the funeral of her beloved husband, Jacqueline withdrew from public eyes until her marriage to Greek magnate Aristotle Onassis in 1968, until 1975 when he died. She settled with Onassis’s daughter Christina Onassis for an inheritance of $26 million, which significantly increased her wealth, but she had to waive all other claims to the Onassis estate.

She returned to her career as an editor, and worked for Viking Press, Doubleday, and until the mid- ‘90s as a book editor too, on such books as “The Cartoon History of the Universe”, “Cairo Trilogy”, and “The Wedding”, among others, before being diagnosed with a lymphoma. She underwent several treatments and operations, however, she succumbed to this terrible disease. and passed away on the 19th May 1994 in Manhattan, New York, after succumbing to anaplastic large-cell lymphoma.

Regarding her personal life, Jacqueline had four children with John F. Kennedy, however, two died while still young. She was survived by John F. Kennedy Jr., who died in 1999 when he crashed his plane, and Caroline, her children, and three grandchildren.
