A lawsuit filed against George Economou by a former flame has given some insight into the Greek shipowner’s property holdings.

Documents filed by the lawyer of former live-in girlfriend Angela Ismailos and obtained by TradeWinds show that Economou developed four villas on Saint Barthelemy, the Caribbean island known as St Barts, which is a playground for the rich and famous.

Ismailos, who is suing the DryShips chief executive in the New York Supreme Court for $240m, claims to have jointly developed with him one four-bedroom villa and a property of three villas worth a combined $55m.
