LOL. According to an article about the movie on Vanity Fair's web site, J. Paul Getty was worth $2 billion at the time of his grandson's 1973 kidnapping. JPG's relationship with his children was not the greatest. He believed his grandson staged the kidnapping to get some of his $$. He was supposedly so cheap that he installed a pay phone for guests to use at his 72 room mansion in England.
