In 1969, Lemos was the wealthiest of the Greek shipowners, worth $750 million, with a fleet of 60 vessels.[2]
By 1980, Lemos was the third largest shipowner in Greece. He later sold most of his vessels and moved into property, tourism and insurance.[3] In 1992, he resided in Lausanne, Switzerland.[4]
On his death in 1995, his son Michael Lemos and his two daughters inherited £1.1 billion from their father.[1]
