Glad I’m not rich. When I go, there won’t be much of an estate to fight over.
Sounds like Andrew Getty was a total idiot.
WIKI Gordon Getty was raised in San Francisco, California, attended St. Ignatius College Preparatory, University of San Francisco and earned a B.A. in music from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. He married Ann Gilbert in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Christmas Day, 1964. He has seven children: four sons with his wife, Ann Gilbert Getty, and three daughters with his longtime partner, Cynthia Beck.
He joined the oil business to please his father; however, he eventually sold the family’s Getty Oil to Texaco in 1986 for US$10 billion. In 1983, Forbes magazine ranked him the richest person in America with a net worth a little over $2 billion.[5] His current net worth is cited as US$2 billion, making him the 212th richest person in the United States.
Getty is one of the nation’s leading venture capitalists and philanthropists. In 2002, he donated US$3 million to the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation, a charitable trust. Though a Republican, he is a major fundraiser for local and national Democratic Party candidates, and has contributed to the campaigns of Nancy Pelosi, Willie Brown, Gavin Newsom, and John Kerry.
How much did he hate his son to finance his destruction? What horrible parenting.
Gordon has been mentally instable for many, many years. I recall his dad had to pay a ransom of the offshore Neutral Zone mineral concession to get him out of a Saudi jail when he was the Managing Director for Getty in the ‘60s.
That concession contained part of the largest offshore oil field ever, so that was a big ransom paid.
I wonder how he feels knowing his kid probably spent all that money on meth???
Guess two billion dollars just doesn’t go as far as it used to do.
This is why children should not die before their parents
