As early as the 1960s, he was the richest man in the United States for 20 years, but he slammed the door to home, five marriages, and the lovers were countless, but every time he dated the lover, it was AA system, and he never spent more than a dime. In order to curb the use of his own phone by people in his family, he installed coin-operated telephones in his home. He was Paul Getty.
In 1892, Getty was born into the family of a wealthy oil merchant, also with a golden key, and his father had more than a million assets.
Son inherited his father's business, in 1930 Getty's father died, he relied on the $500,000 left by his father to him, a beautiful turnaround battle, Getty engaged in his father's oil work, with excellent business acumen, he became an envied millionaire in the eyes of others at the age of 24.
By 1957, his value had reached a staggering 7.6 billion yuan, and if he were worth 58 billion yuan today. Thus he ascended to the position of the richest man in the United States at that time. Achim, who is also a rich man, is also famous for cutting doors, but Achim's door is obviously different from Getty's.
The phone booth in the picture is located in Getty's home, not to facilitate the phone, but to prevent others from using his phone, Getty is a rich man, the family naturally can not avoid coming and going to a variety of people, but Getty found a problem,
Friends who come to the house often use his phone to make calls, so that a long time will waste a phone bill, in order to prevent such a thing from happening, he installed a coin-operated telephone at home, so as to prevent those who call for free.
He was married five times in his life, and by virtue of his status, he married the famous countess, and many Hollywood stars gave birth to sons for him.
In addition, he has hundreds of lovers, getty's lover is also more miserable, other rich lovers can get luxury cars and mansions, as well as essential luxury goods,
But Getty's lover, in addition to having to accompany Getty, also has various phone bills, such as money for meals, money for watching movies, because Getty has to AA with them, and what is more excessive is that he has signed an "unequal" agreement with each lover
If the woman is pregnant during the relationship and has nothing to do with Getty, Getty does not have to pay them anything, so it seems that Getty's wishful thinking is really good enough.
Generally speaking, the reason why lovers can become lovers is definitely what they can get, so why do so many people want to be his lovers because Getty's = has been painting them bread to fill their hunger, and Getty has promised many lovers that they can get their rich inheritance.
I thought that Getty was just slamming the door on outsiders, but he was also cutting the door to his own family, not giving pocket money to his five children, not participating in education, and allowing them to develop freely.
The result of the final free range is that none of the five sons can become a great instrument, and although the eldest son is the son that Getty values the most, he later committed suicide at the age of 48 because of neglect of discipline.
The second son, the most prominent of the five brothers, once had a movie dream, but was ridiculed by his father and ran away from home because he could not bear it.
After the marriage, the couple became addicted to drugs, and finally died on the street at the age of 31. Although Getty did not care about his son's development, he could not withstand the successive blows, and finally he moved his family to England.
The fourth son inherited the character of his seed of love everywhere, and after marriage, he formed a second family everywhere. In the end, Qingfu took him to court with a complaint.
Giggling is the smallest, naturally liked by Getty, but as if these likes are just likes, the child was diagnosed with a brain tumor at the age of 6, the case said that Getty is so rich will definitely try to treat,
But Getty, who slammed the door, didn't even look at it, and planned to take the child home for treatment, so as to save the bed fee, and complained that the wife spent too much money on her son. The child eventually died at the age of 12 during surgery. Getty was too busy attending her child's funeral.
In 1973, the 17-year-old grandson was kidnapped by the Italian gangsters, who demanded that Getty pay a ransom of $17 million, which was actually nothing in the eyes of the richest man, after all, it was his own grandson.
But Getty's approach was unexpected, he directly refused the kidnappers' request, and lived leisurely at home, which he once thought was a prank by his grandson, just to ask him for money.
He thinks that ignoring the kidnappers is to protect other people, I have 15 grandchildren, if I promise the kidnappers then immediately with other people will be kidnapped, if not agree to the kidnappers can not take me.
But the kidnappers are not children after all, in a rage, cut off one of the ears of Getty's grandson and exposed it in the newspaper, at this time Getty only paid attention to it, but he still did not hurry to cut the price with the kidnapper, saying that he would pay up to three million, otherwise he would tear up the ticket.
Scrapping only wants money, not really tearing up tickets, and finally forcing no way but to promise the old man's three million, which is also cutting a new height.
After the child's release, he specially went to the child's father to write a receipt and asked for interest, and said to his son that this is your son, and it is not my son who should bear it for you. Getty's other grandchildren also had accidents to varying degrees, most of whom died from drug addiction.
Why Getty is so rich but so picky has a lot to do with his father's way of educating.
Although Getty's father was rich, when he was a child, Getty did not live a rich second generation life, his father rarely gave him pocket money, and if he had to buy something, he had to record the transaction records he believed.
Not only did Getty make money in this way, but also had to hand over 50% to her father, so Getty was also poor and afraid from childhood, and since then he has been very sensitive to money, because every penny when he was a child was not easy to come by, and over time he formed such a habit
Getty is so rich, where did his money go in the end?
Getty has been cutting the door to the extreme, but in front of the collection of art is like a waste of money, he is willing to spend a high fee to take his favorite works of art for himself, the museum named after him has collected more than 50,000 rare treasures,
When Paul died in 1976, he left only $500 in his will for his son Wu'en, and the remaining 2.2 billion was donated to the museum named after him, and instructed future generations to visit the museum for free.
Getty has a lifetime of no love, so others can not occupy a place in their hearts, he is only interested in money, in such an environment there must be a sense of estrangement between all the family members, and since then the once well-known oil tycoon Paul family has slowly withdrawn from people's sight.
