The initial jury's award was put aside by the judge hearing the case because he said Tavoulareas had not proven "actual malice". The Court of Appeals confirmed the ruling, finding the story substantially true and holding that "the record abounds with uncontradicted evidence of nepotism in favor of Peter [Tavoulareas' son]".[5] Career{{Expand section|date=July 2016}}He succeeded Rawleigh Warner, Jr. at Mobil.[6] He was also on the Boards of Aramco, Bankers Trust, Philip Morris, St. John's University, Georgetown University, Athens College, St. Francis Hospital, a Governor of New York Hospital, and served on the Boards of numerous charities both nationally and internationally.{{Cn|date=July 2016}} He was a Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.
