American business and entertainment family

The Getty family of the United States began with George Franklin Getty and his son Jean Paul Getty as their patriarchs. In the 20th century, they were heavily involved in the petroleum industry and in mass media. The Getty family is of Scots-Irish ancestry from their patrilineal lineage, their ancestors having immigrated to North America from Cullavmor, County Londonderry, Ireland (today in Northern Ireland).^[1] Several members of the Getty family have lived in England, including Sir Paul Getty who took British citizenship.

George Getty (1855–1930) was a lawyer who became an independent oilman in 1904. He was married with one son, a daughter having died in infancy in a typhoid epidemic in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Getty was heartbroken and didn't attend the funeral, and he and Teddy divorced soon afterwards.

    That year represented a watershed in the oilman's life. At 65, Getty was at the apex of his wealth and power, owning 80 per cent of a global oil empire. The year before, Fortune magazine had named him 'the richest man in the US', with a net worth between $700m and $1bn (£4.5-£6.5bn today).

    You will find a genealogy that shows Michael Wilding, saying “Liz Taylor’s son” – and that’s it! Was this deliberate, or, are folks plain stupid? The Carl Janke family, who founded Belmont, are in the Getty tree. Founders of a swank city is a feather in the Getty cap. Two Gettys were Anglophiles. One was married to the actress, Talitha Getty, who I place next to Liz – and all the actors in her Rosy tree.
