Would actually pay for my grandsons ransom

Can you please make a video on Mir Osman Ali Khan the last Nizam of Hyderabad

[@trackydog]

This is so full of misinformation I don't know where to start, the Getty family did not ask for the ear as proof the kidnappers had the grandson, how ridiculous. The kidnappers did it out of frustration as they weren't being paid. And the grandson died early as a result of being paralyzed from a drug overdose not from the post traumatic stress of having been kidnapped ... hello, was it your fact checker's day off Alux?

[@gardensofthegods]

trackydog I noticed that too that they just change the narrative and who the hell does that who the hell acts like they're telling facts when they don't even check the facts.. that's not very smart because even if their grandfather was not a nice person, the Getty family could sue them for saying he demanded they cut off the grandsons ear ..that is slander.

[@jayaseto]

Yeah stopped watching after noticing the inaccuracies. The couldn’t do a simple google search? Idiots

[@sarahjeannepeterson5536]

In addition to letting the fact checkers go on vacation perhaps they should have had a read-through with the narrator before the final recording. They could've told her how to pronounce all the words she doesn't know.

But that is also true even of a modestly successful person

[@terr777]

You need an editor, for both factual accuracy and sentence structure. JPG III suffered an overdose of heroin and thus a stroke, which is what caused him to be wheelchair-bound the remainder of his life. You could argue that the kidnapping contributed to his demise, but not that it caused it. He used drugs both before and after.

[@jayaseto]

The "P" in "coup de grace" is silent. Also, I think you meant to say "piece de resistance." Finally, the child in "Rothschild" is pronounced just like the word "child."

[@pablobenz]

Exactly!

[@gardensofthegods]

I had heard that it's actually supposed to be pronounce Roth Shield.. and instead we have Americanized it based on the spelling.. it is a German name which means red shield

[@rixx46]

it's like she is ESL or something. Plus much of the info is wrong and unresearched.

[@BobTaile]

Yes, she's highly UN educated. Apart from mispronunciations you have pointed out she should have pronounced 'stipend' with the sti as STY. ie. 'stypend' - not "stip-end' which is totally incorrect. A complete airhead with 50% incorrect 'facts".

On November 19, 1985, Pennzoil won a US$10.53 billion verdict against Texaco in the largest civil verdict in US history. This was due to the fact that Texaco established a signed contract to buy Getty Oil after Pennzoil entered into an unsigned, yet still binding, buyout contract with Gordon Getty.

[@zabdas83]

What's your point brother? Texaco was part of the Rockefeller's empire, who JPG 1 father worked for in the very beginning. I think the Getty's were mere Generals & captains for the much bigger empire that was Standard oil... Feedback please?

[@kevinhealey6540]

He was asked by a reporter once if it bothered him that he had so much wealth and there were other people in the world who had so little. He said, "You can have whatever type of political system you want. It could be democratic, republican, socialist, communist, Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, monarchy, authoritarianism, totalitarianism, dictatorship, whatever. In every city in the world there is the best hotel and in the best hotel there is the best room, and someone is there and in every city in the world there is the worst hotel and in the worst hotel there is the worst room, and someone is there as well. You could take all of the money in the US or even the world. Put it all together and divide it out among the people where each person receiving an equal share. What would happen is, some people would save it, some would invest it, some would start a business, some would use it for an education, some would go to a casino, some would be swindled out of it, some spend it in a week or month, some would vacation with it, etcetera and in three years time, it would be exactly the way it was three years previously. It would be the same for a society or a country." 5:20 His grandson was kidnapped and the reason he did not want to pay was, it would endanger all of his children and their children for kidnapping. But he eventually did pay.

[@NUCLEARARMAMENT]

Hands down the best comment on this video and the best quote attributed to John Paul Getty I have ever heard. I don't even care if it's a fake quote--it's succint and brilliant.

[@b1940RLG]

The most famous "Getty" thing today is Getty Images, which is on TV all the time. Not a word about it in this video. Yes, my name is Getty. My father and he were close through the years. In the 1950's my father helped him to make millions by telling him how he could get government land with oil on it. Around 1970 Getty sent attorneys to my Dad in California to offer him $10 million in trust funds. I was going to college in New York City. When he told me the story years later he said he turned them. One reason was the recent kidnapping of Getty's grandson, and he didn't want to have to worry about my situation. People ask how I feel about not getting any of the money. I have led a very interesting life without it; I would have had an interesting life with it. As I told my Dad at the time, half joking, half serious, "I know how to handle the problems of being super rich!"

yes. I agree. I think I'd start a few businesses such as Neuman's, put people to work and turn some of these abandoned buildings into housing so homeless people can have a place to live, an address and then, be able to get more assistance to be off the street and have a normal life. hmmmm......... and I think I'd fund medical research, as well. sure! and set up a few scholarships for outstanding students at some of the state universities.... It would be fun, but I wouldn't be so wealthy for long. ;)

[@brianbrooks684]

Why did he have a pay phone? Because his guest would call America on his dime and back then international phone calls were very expensive. How to be Rich is a great book. He also blamed himself not his wives for the divorces because his greatest love was for his company.

[@annarusso1135]

very informative. i don't like the female narrator: not professional .

[@kevinhealey6540]

7:14 Money will buy luxury but not necessarily buy happiness. I'll explain what the differene is. You can buy a big beautiful house with money but you can not buy a happy home with money. If one has a great deal of cash one can easily find someone to marry, but money will not buy someone to be in love with you. You can buy a big beautiful bed with money, but you can not buy a good night's sleep with money. You can have a companion with money but you may not have a true friend. One of the mistakes people make when they come into wealth, or are wealthy to begin with, is they hire someone to take of their child(ren). Sigmund Freud warned against this and he had treated many who were raised like under those circumstances. When one does this, an employee is being hired. Everyone has their own agenda and the agenda of an employee just may not be conducive to a child's well being.

[@pricejoss]

Getty is a cautionary tale of how dangerous a love of money over everything else can be, not an inspiration for its acquisition. Whoever owns this channel, being a billionaire is not a worthy goal. What is a worthy goal is serving others and if in the process you happen to earn a billion then good for you but it worries me seeing this sort of video peddling to susceptible people this idea that there’s some sort of honour in being a billionaire or a millionaire. Does huge wealth make someone a better person? No, it does not. Often people with enormous wealth, such as Getty, are the most dysfunctional and self interested people who lack empathy and concern for others. If you want to inspire future billionaires, inspire people to solve the world’s problems, create worthwhile products and services, do anything that benefits people beyond oneself. Inspire your followers to be better people and to look at themselves honestly and examine their flaws and change them. Money doesn’t change any of that. If anything it covers people’s flaws up and allows the worst expression of them. Be a better human being, serve others and bring value to people’s lives. That’s something to aspire to.

[@davidbonham6105]
