Greek origins
Arianna Huffington was born on July 15, 1950 in Athens. Her real name is Arianna Stassinopoulos. She moved to London with her mother in 1969 at the age of 19. She studied economics at Cambridge. One of the most important people in his life was the journalist Bernard Levin, whom she couldn't help calling the love of my life even years later. Huffington later settled in California and her life changed after meeting oil tycoon Michael Huffington.
When wealthy and conservative Michael entered the House of Representatives in 1992 after a successful Republican campaign, Arianna wanted her husband to become a senator next. They made a good campaign for Michael, but Dianne Feinstein, whom Armenian-Americans love so much, did not lose her seat to Huffington.
The failure in politics seemed to be reflected in the marriage, and the couple separated after a while. Then the truth came out: Michael Huffington revealed that he is bisexual. This time, Arianna decided to engage in active politics instead of taking the suitcase under her seat and going to another country.
Since she's already the key figure behind the campaign that won her ex-husband's election, she could well enter the race from California on her own behalf. But not seeing the clear gap between campaigning and running for office, Arianna lost altitude for the first time in her career and was defeated in the elections.
