Painfully Rich: J. Paul Getty and His Heirs | John Pearson

#Aprella #AmericanMoney?I don't think you can talk about American money without J.Paul Getty being part of the conversation. I just watched "All the Money in the World" about the 1973 kidnapping of his 16-year old grandson, John Paul Getty III & it's based on this book which I put on my #TBR. If you don't know the story, J. Paul Getty first refused to pay ransom then finally contributed $1 million-the maximum amount that would be tax deductible.

DebinHawaii ...Speaking of American money, check out this NYT article about the difference in $$$ between Mark Wahlburg and Michelle Williams's salaries for the film's reshoot. #genderpaygap 😡

emilyhaldi I don't know this story but for some reason it reminds me of a difference case I watched on ID channel with @Mdargusch ... Barbara Mackle was kidnapped for ransom and locked in a box underground for 3 days waiting for her ransom to be paid by her wealthy father. 🤯🤯🤯 @Reviewsbylola u gotta look it up 7y

mrp27 Fascinated by this story. I didn't see the movie but I'm currently watching Trust on Paramount about the kidnapping. This version is suggesting that that Paul jr. was in on the kidnapping. Since I've moved back to California I've been dying to visit the Getty museum. 7y

Mdargusch Wow! This dates me because I remember this @Reviewsbylola and @emilyhaldi 👂🏻 7y

batsy I watched the movie, which was incredibly tedious. But the story riveted me in that "rich people's logic is so horrifying" way. I'm guessing the book might be a lot more interesting. 7y
