Homes and History of the Getty Family, A Closer Look: Inside The homes of The Getty Family | Cultured Elegance The Getty family, one of America's wealthiest dynasties, is renowned for its vast oil empire and significant contributions to art and culture. Their patriarch, J. Paul Getty, amassed a fortune through the Getty Oil Company and was known for his frugality despite his immense wealth. His legacy is perhaps best reflected in the Getty estates, particularly the Getty Villa in Malibu and the Getty Center in Los Angeles. The Getty Villa, inspired by the ancient Roman Villa dei Papiri, houses an extensive collection of Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities, embodying J. Paul Getty’s passion for classical art. Meanwhile, the Getty Center, a striking modernist complex designed by Richard Meier, sits atop a hill in Brentwood and serves as a world-class museum and research institute. Over the years, the family’s wealth and influence have been accompanied by scandals, tragedies, and legal battles, including the infamous 1973 kidnapping of J. Paul Getty’s grandson, John Paul Getty III. Despite such controversies, the Gettys remain a defining force in the world of art philanthropy, with their institutions continuing to shape cultural preservation and scholarship.
