Learn Greek and Earn Two Billion Dollars

Tuesday February 22, 2005
Everyone knows education is valuable. But for one young woman, learning Greek will earn her a cool two billion dollars. And she may have an advantage, because she's already named after the Greek goddess of wisdom, Athena.

According to Celebrity Justice, young Athina Onassis Roussel, reportedly already worth a billion, stands to inherit two billion dollars more if she learns Greek. The daughter of Christina Onassis was raised by her father in France after her mother's tragic death, and under the provisions of her grandfather Aristotle Onassis' will, she will receive the additional inheritance if she learns the language of her ancestors. Quite an incentive!

Your incentive may just be making a great Greek holiday even better, but why not pop over to my quick and easy lessons on learning the Greek alphabet.
