Hardbitten oilman, spectacular lover, absent
parent, miserly art collector, philandering and
bigamous husband, bohemian expatriate,
.social snob, physical coward, Hitler sym-
pathizer, writer, master businessman, and the
richest man in the world--J. Paul Getty was all
these things and more. Now, in The Great Getty
the real Getty is revealed at last.
Jean Paul Getty was, by 1957, the richest man
in the world--and the richest man ever to pay
only $500 or less a year in income taxes. By the
time Getty was 24, he had made his first mil-
lion, become estranged from his very proper
parents, and gotten slapped with a paternity
suit. By 1930, he had married and divorced
three different teenaged girls within five
years--only to marry twice more, one time
neglecting to divorce his previous wife first.
After wresting control of the family trust from
his deaf and aging toothier, Getty established
himself in the midst of the Depression as an
international oilman--one of the first to see
the potential of Arab oil--and an international
bon vivant.
