Heir to the Getty Family fortune is DEAD TO ME!

No not that one. The other one. The one you’ve never heard of.

“John Gilbert Getty, one of the heirs to the Getty family's estimated US$3.75 billion fortune, has died aged 52, a family spokesman said yesterday (Tuesday).

The grandson of oil tycoon J Paul Getty was found unresponsive at a hotel room in San Antonio, Texas, on Friday.

Police are not treating the death as suspicious and a post-mortem examination has yet to be carried out.”

Hopefully another movie won't be made where that cow Michelle Williams pretends to be Jackie O.

Another Getty young death.

Is Gavin reassessing his family's association with the eternally corrupt and fucked up Gettys?

Wow, he looks great for 52.

He, uh, did not look great in recent years...

Going by appearances the autopsy will find a whole pharmacy in his system

And yet, he still smiled.

A testament to his wealth: Anyone else in his shoes would have had horrifically rotted teeth and gums. Except the topnotch dental appointments and oral reconstruction were not kept up as his meth use rotted the rest of his face...

I wonder which hotel.

Seems like the whole family struggled with drug addiction.

Balthazar may be the only success story from the clan. He had his own drug problems but seems to have overcome them.

Off topic, but I somehow missed that J Paul's last wife Teddy died in 2017.

I don't understand people like this. All the freedom that money can buy you, and you destroy yourself.

R18, it's almost as if money can't buy happiness, isn't it.

R15, amazing she held on as long as she did named Teddy Getty.

Died from 'complications of COPD'. Poor guy, not an easy way to go at all.

r22, Would Covid be a complication of COPD?

r23, not if your heirs are trying to collect on a life insurance policy ....

That’s really creepy

Why are the Gettys always "heirs". Can't family members just be referred to by their relationship to the original Getty?

by Anonymousreply 27December 15, 2020 8:25 AM

So not the kidnapped one who had a body part chopped off and was played by the handsome aptly named Harrison Dickerson and someone else in that competing movie from which Mr. Spacey was in and removed and (white) Michelle Williams played his mother, but only got paid scale on the reshoots?

Strangely enough I still remember a pic of him and his mother in the old W. He was great looking.

I think Grandpa Getty must have drilled through some ancient Egyptian tombs and unleashed some centuries old demons that are slowly destroying his ancestors.

by Anonymousreply 31December 15, 2020 8:58 AM

Oh dear, R31. I think your only option now is to go kill yourself. What an embarrassment. Your mother would be ashamed.

by Anonymousreply 32December 15, 2020 5:05 PM

It’s never good when someone dies alone in a hotel room.

by Anonymousreply 33December 15, 2020 5:10 PM

31 Does Getty oils do extensive drilling in Egypt? Never knew they were oil rich.
