In 1960, J. Paul Getty, the American oil man who was one of the richest people in the world, sat for an interview with CBC's Close-Up. Here, he is asked about his philosophy in life and how he feels about the nature of wealth itself.
J. Paul Getty, the famously reclusive multi-millionaire, has granted an interview to CBC Television's Close-Up. He speaks with Douglas Leiterman about his wealth, his spending habits, and his failed marriages - "I probably paid too much attention to my business." They talk about his oilfields in Saudi Arabia, and his ultimate objective, before he retires - "I hope to keep active in business…keep the position in the industry that I have now."

Getty was living proof, that, wealth does not create or cause happiness...Being rich has more to do with other things, than, merely, financial and/or material wealth...A truly wealthy/rich man is one, who, is happy, healthy and, above all, at peace with himself.

Getty had a son by his second or third wife. The little boy only lived to be twelve as he was dying from a horrible brain tumor. The child had been suffering for some time and the boy’s mother took him to the U.K. for treatment. I believe the tumor was pressing on his optic nerves rendering him blind. The mother was desperate to alleviate her son’s suffering when Getty who was still in America got angry at her for spending money on their son’s medical treatments. If ever Getty’s money was needed it was then! The little boy eventually died. Getty did not attend his own son’s funeral and the boy’s mother divorced Getty.

I think he did the best he could...knowing he was only loved for his money and not for himself. No one gave him anyting....they all took. He lived the best he could being the brilliant man that he was. His son sold his company and Thus ended the wealth he worked hard to build. He spoke 7 languages, he wrote at least 3 books. His art is preserved all over the world. We can be thankful for his brilliance. HIS MONEY AND HIS DECISION HOW TO SPEND IT.

He cut his son off because Paul II got hooked on drugs and he said 'no Getty would be a heroin addict'. Paul II left his wife and four kids for Talitha Pol and she died of drugs. Paul III was a hippy who was expelled from SEVEN schools, posed naked for a magazine and took drugs, all BEFORE the kidnapping. I suppose Getty cut them off as they were not earning their keep, or making a contribution - just druggies who were off going off the rails. Why should he pay to keep somebody who isn't working or studying, just to keep their hippy lifestyle intact? He had other sons and grandkids, who the papers DON'T mention, who are probably doing well. The media only wants to constantly report the negative and bad side of people.

How could John getty lll ever feel anything but worthless & unloved after that. Which I'm sure contributed to his excessive drug use. That evil old man killed him same as if he had put a gun to his head. Most poor ppl would trade thier lives for the life of thier children because life would be unbearable without them. I believe money makes ppl evil & it takes a person whom is evil to become wealthy. This story breaks my heart.

Whether fictional (Tywin Lannister), real (J-P Getty), or in between (Logan Roy), rich, powerful men who show utter contempt for their lazy and entitled offspring are riotously funny. That's why we all watch these shows.

interesting...at least he looks at this....I think personally, a rich man can go to heaven and can be religious. but they have to still be moral, they have to take communion, they have to be very good to the poor and vulnerable, they have to be descent, and so on...then I think even so, their money may be a purpose for of god. we need good rich people. however, I think the phrase that jesus said, how hardly a rich man can enter heaven, was said for a purpose....I think it wasn t completely literal. I think jesus was so noble, he knew the poor and oppressed were all his. he came for them. realisticly we need money and even rich people to run things etc...per se.... if a rich man serves god, then he is doing a service. however, I think there are many rich men that simply serve money and money alone, and these don t get heaven....to serve money and people know corrupt people who would do almost anything legal or illegal , to get huge money, riches....they don t care about people, let alone the poor....there probably a good percentage of rich people like that, he was referring to these. there probably are some good rich men too, and these I respect

@jimmyhoffa2530 4 жыл бұрын

He believes in “religion” and takes the parable about the man and his vineyard way out of context. Mr. J Paul Getty must have forgotten the one about being able to tell a man by his fruits. One of Getty’s fruits was letting kidnappers torture and mutilate his grandson because he refused to pay for a ransom he could easily have payed 100 times over. It’s safe to assume Mr Getty is begging Lazarus for just one drop of water in hell for eternity. Remember that story from the Bible Mr Methodist Getty?

@timmccaffrey1326 6 жыл бұрын

Getty was inhuman and unfeeling to the point that he was undoubtedly mentally ill, but people like Getty have always been vitally important in driving the economy, creating employment and all that goes with it. It's just a pity that the kidnappers didn't try and take the miserable old bastard and leave that poor young alone.
