30 years ago, newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell, father of Ghislaine Maxwell, fell overboard from his luxury yacht, Lady Ghislaine, in the Atlantic. The yacht was built by Amels in 1986 and was purchased for Emad Khashoggi. Maxwell knew that his life’s work would collapse within weeks, but ignored the demand and took his yacht to the Canary Islands. His body was discovered floating in the Atlantic Ocean in 1991, having apparently fallen overboard.
Maxwell led a flamboyant lifestyle, living in Headington Hill Hall in Oxford, from which he often flew in his helicopter or sailing in his luxury yacht, the Dancing Hare. It is almost 30 years since her father, Robert Maxwell, fell to his death from his £15m yacht, Lady Ghislaine, off the Canary Islands. In 1986, he paid 27 million for the 57-meter superyacht and named it Lady Ghislaine after his youngest and favorite.
Maxwell owned a helicopter and sailed in his luxury yacht, the Dancing Hare, which was moored in Auckland after traversing the South Pacific and Caribbean Sea. He was married to Elisabeth Maxwell from 1945 and the pair had 10 children. The Dancing Hare, a 189-ft superyacht, is currently moored in Auckland after traversing the South Pacific and Caribbean Sea.

It always makes me smile when I come across a blaring stereotype in the wild. Robert Maxwell, Jewish businessman and media mogal, praised for his priceless service to Israel, defrauded and backstabbed those in his industry, simultaneously playing the banking system and embezzling millions from his employees’ pension funds.
It’s interesting to see Robert Maxwell (born Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch; 10 June 1923 – 5 November 1991) – was so often photographed dining with the British Monarchy. Around the same time that Maxwell and Piers Morgan pursued Diana so cruelly, ruthlessly and with such force and venom. It makes a person wonder what must’ve been said (or agreed) at his mansion parties where he entertained the Queen and Charles. Coincidence…? I don’t think so.
it will be interesting to see how Robert Maxwell’s reputation changes after the release of “One Nation Under Blackmail” by journalist Whitney Webb – it’s a 2 part series around 900 pages long detailing the history of Robert Maxwell’s life and business undertakings – criminal would be an understatement, the implications of Whitney Webb’s research are very serious please keep in mind that this book is made up of mostly primary sources, the level of scholarship here is extremely high – it seems Robert Maxwell’s character was far stranger even than what he seems in this article – thx for the vid btw
These was not your most well researched article. Peres was not Israeli President in 1991 and he wasn’t prime minster either. Yitzhak Shamir was the Prime Minster and Chaim Herzog was the president. Also, I get that you want to emphasize that he was a generally bad actor for most of his business career (which he was), but denigrating his service in WWII doesn’t help that point.
I remember when newspapers were important & money makers. Now slowly dying. I still work for them decades later. Lol wont say which one, but I still like the work, but some fallen into the gutter. I find it interesting how her father had a mysterious death – suicide? And she picked s partner like her father? Always trying to please – like her dad? Who fooled around on her mother, maybe that’s why she was able to tolerate JE because she had been trained since birth
Among the assets he sold to try and deleverage, there was a stake in TF1, the largest private television in France, which originated in the consortium that bought the website in 1987 in a privatisation that was controversial, for his participation in said consortium was made possible by a direct intervention of the French President of the time, Mitterrand, who knew him… since the early 1950’s.
There is a lot of information in this article and I believe a lot of it is truth.. however, G Maxwell has not been convicted in a court of your peers yet. Until she is, she is innocent until proven guilty. This is by no means any support because the charges she faces are of the utmost shame and a scourge on human existence. However, it is very easy for people in this day and age to say “she’s to blame”. Let the courts decide if she is guilty, and hold your blame to yourselves until she is found guilty in a court of your peers.
