Growing Up Getty: The Story of America's Most Unconventional Dynasty

Oil magnate J. Paul Getty, once the richest man in the world, is the patriarch of an extraordinary cast of sons, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. While some have been brought low by mental illness, drug addiction, and one of the most sensational kidnapping cases of the 20th century, many of Getty's heirs have achieved great success. In addition to Mark Getty, a co-founder of Getty Images, and Anne G. Earhart, an award-winning environmentalist, others have made significant marks in a variety of fields, from music and viniculture to politics and LGBTQ rights. Through extensive research, including access to J. Paul Getty's diaries and love letters, and fresh interviews with family members and friends, 'Growing Up Getty' offers an inside look into the benefits and burdens of being part of today's world of the ultra-wealthy.
