Corporate Activities

Victory Carriers is a Monaco-based petroleum and energy shipping company. He purchased the remnants of the company and of the flagship company, Olympic Maritime, both originally started in 1943 by family friend,[citation needed] the late Greek shipping magnate, Aristotle Onassis, from the Onassis estate for a reported $250 million. Alexander-Goulandris has built the privately-owned concern, through aggressive acquisitions and the construction of new megaships, into one of the world's largest energy shipping companies.
Among Alexander-Goulandris' subsidiaries are Petromaritime, the Victory Group, a commercial real estate enterprise which owns over 15,000,000 sq ft (1,400,000 m2) of commercial real estate around the world, including a large portion of Olympic Tower in New York City, and at least one dozen additional subsidiaries.[citation needed]

Wealth

Alexander-Goulandris owns one of the largest megayachts in the world, the Dubai-registered M/Y, Delma, length: 279 ft 7 • 85.23 m.[citation needed] His private jet fleet includes a Boeing 767-400ER, with, among other security measures, includes ultra-sophisticated communications systems and anti-missile defenses, which is registered in Aruba as of April, 2010, two Gulfstream G550s. two Sikorsky S-92A helicopters and a helicopter tender on board Delma.
In September, 2010, the luxury blog Luxist mis-reported that that Alexander-Goulandris had purchased what was said to be the world's most expensive home, a Monaco penthouse formerly owned by the late Edmond Safra. The blog later issued a correction, now claiming that Alexander-Goulandris advised the U.A.E.'s Al Maktoum family on their purchase of the property.

He is reported to be single and keeps a low profile. He maintains homes in Greece, Switzerland, Paris, London, Antibes, New York, Los Angeles, Hawaii and Monaco, his principal residence.
