Spyros Stavros "Spiros" Niarchos is the second son of the Greek shipping magnate Stavros Niarchos and Eugenia Livanos. He is a grandson of another Greek shipping giant, his mother's father, Stavros G. Livanos.
In 1955 Vickers Armstrongs Shipbuilders Ltd launched for Stavros Niarchos what was then the World's largest supertanker. The 30,708 GRT ship was named SS Spyros Niarchos after his new son.
In 1987, while skiing in Switzerland, he met 19-year-old Daphne Guinness and they soon married. The marriage ultimately ended in divorce, with Guinness receiving a GBP 20 million settlement in 1999.
