	History's Biggest Takeover? - TIME
		Getty Oil is the biggest piece of the family fortune left by Jean Paul Getty, who died in 1976.
		Gordon Getty, 50, youngest of three surviving sons, inherited 13% of the family oil business but, until the past year or so, scarcely seemed interested in it.
		Getty, of course, did not have to worry about where his next five-course meal was coming from; his Getty Oil dividends alone paid him $28 million annually.

	The Gulliver Getty Oil Co Dossier
		Getty's prime involvement in the nuclear industry is through uranium mining, but in 1968 it did take a stake in nuclear fuel reprocessing too (2).
		In the Philippines, Getty Oil received a concession to explore the Camarines Norte area for uranium in 1977 (19); an exploration development contract was to be signed by January 1978 (20).
		After the oil boom, his path was firmly set for him to become the owner of four million shares of Getty Oil and sole trustee of the Sarah C Getty Trust with another eight million shares.

	J. Paul Getty Summary
		Getty saw himself as a modern oil man, relying on geological data and not simply on the instinct of the experienced veterans, but he also thrived on the excitement, gamble, risks, and high stakes of the oil business.
		Getty had a majority or controlling interest in Getty Oil and its nearly 200 affiliated and subsidiary firms, and he remained its president until his death in 1976.
		Getty complained about the fame, the requests for money, and the assumption that he would pick up every restaurant check, but he also furthered his own legends: he wrote articles on such topics as "How To Be Rich" and pretended to poverty by wearing rumpled suits and threadbare sweaters.

	The Getty: For Better and Worse - The New York Review of Books
		Getty's curious mixture of detachment and obsessiveness, so evident in his fitful collecting habits, became more pronounced in his long-distance micromanagement of the museum-building project to which he devoted his final years and ultimately most of his worldly goods.
		Getty's taste in architecture was as conservative as his taste in art, but his decision to replicate an ancient Roman country house for his museum struck most art and architecture professionals as perverse in the extreme.
		The Getty's petro-jackpot inspired its board of trustees in 1981 to appoint a new president and CEO, Harold Williams, an attorney and a former head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to whom it gave the mandate to expand the institution's activities beyond the founder's original directive to collect and display art.

		It is doubtful J. Paul Getty, founder of Getty Oil, could have foreseen one of his descendents pioneering a cutting-edge business venture in the 21st century.
		Mark Getty says the seeds for Getty Images were first sown in 1984 after his father and uncles decided to sell Getty Oil, for decades a top-performing stock, to Texaco for $10.1 billion.
		While still a far cry from running a business on the scale of Getty Oil, Getty says he feels a sense of satisfaction that the Getty family name again is associated with a thriving enterprise that has a potentially lofty future.

		Getty graduated Oxford in 1913, and two years later cut perhaps the best deal of his life: For $500, he bought half interest in a land lease in Oklahoma -- for land rich in oil.
		Getty's collection grew, although, as Los Angeles Times art critic Suzanne Muchnic said, he was known as "a bit of a Scrooge when it came to paintings." In 1951, Getty moved to Europe and installed a pay phone in his mansion, encouraging such labels.
		Getty's wish, however, was to be remembered not for his eccentricities, but rather "as a man who was well-rounded," he once said.
