#Getty family

[idroolinmysleep]

[Marlena Sonn, a former Getty wealth advisor] had started out in wealth management determined to help people find “tax-efficient” ways of clearing their conscience but had come to see an ethical flaw in that ambition. “The financial-services industry lives between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law,” she said. “That’s what tax efficiency is.”

Sarah Getty insisted that the sisters had acted in accordance with their family’s values. “Everything we were trying to do was lawful,” she said. “I’m not against paying taxes at all, because I think they’re very important, especially if they go in the right things. I would want the right government to be in control, though, because, if the wrong government is in control, then they go to all the stuff I don’t support. I’m very against military and guns and weapons, and very pro-planet.”

Massive wealth truly warps one’s perspective, even for people who see themselves as progressives. In the real world, some tax money will be spent on things you don’t like, and wishing for “the right government” is an anti-democratic sentiment.

Just how much money have these people made off her since January and in normal times? As I’ve said before for many tabloids and fashion magazines she provided a weekly treasure chest of content even if she just had one event in that week. The media really needs a new profit model as this is not sustainable for them, nor is it morally acceptable to depend on one woman and shame her when she expresses her desire and right to privacy while recovering from serious surgery. The Princess of Wales is also I believe the most photographed living woman in the Getty image database succeeding the place of Queen Elizabeth II, so another area was being beneficial to all these photography agencies.

I have watched Trust I don't know how many times over the past three years and it only just now occurred to me to look at the dinner that Getty Sr has for Little Paul in the first episode alongside the confirmation celebration for Francesco later on. The parallels! The malignant old men naming their heirs, much to the distress of the heirs' fathers!

The Getty dinner is a cold affair populated by strangers, and the confirmation is a warm community gathering. Getty Sr says "to John Paul Getty the third" with gloating arrogance, and Leonardo says "a Francesco" choked up with pride. Paul 2 sabotages his son's position in the family business out of spite and envy, and Leonardo tries to get his son out of the family business out of love and concern. And they both fail. Both their sons stay trapped.

(By Primo. If it had just been Getty Sr and Salvatore, both boys might have been all right. Little Paul might not have overdosed if he hadn't had all that emotional and physical trauma. Francesco might have left the 'Ndrangheta, or at least not been actively involved in it, if it hadn't been for Primo's money and port. Francesco maims Paul to save Paul's life and in the process dooms himself. I love this fucking show.)
