An enthralling and comprehensive look into the contemporary state
of one of the wealthiest—and most misunderstood—family
dynasties in the world, perfect for fans
of Succession and House of Gucci. The Gettys are
one of the wealthiest—and most misunderstood—family dynasties.
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 cofounder 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. Now, across
four continents, a new generation of lively, unique, and even
outrageous Gettys is emerging—and not coasting on the dynasty’s
still-immense wealth. August Getty designs extravagant gowns worn
by Katy Perry, Cher, and other stars; his sibling, Nats—a fellow
LGBTQ rights activist who announced his gender transition following
his wedding to transgender icon Gigi Gorgeous—produces a line of
exclusive streetwear. Their fascinating cousins include Balthazar,
a multi-hyphenate actor-director-DJ-designer; and Isabel, a
singer-songwriter and MBA candidate. A far-flung yet surprisingly
close-knit group, the ascendant Gettys are bringing this iconic
family onto the global stage in the 21st century. 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 enthralling and
revealing look into the benefits and burdens of being part of
today’s world of the ultra-wealthy.
