	J. Paul Getty
		Paul Getty (December 15, 1892 - June 6, 1976) was an American industrialist and founder of the Getty Oil[?] Company.
		Getty was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, into a family already in the petroleum business.

	Obituary: Sir Paul Getty \| Obituaries \| Guardian Unlimited
		Getty Jr was brought up a Roman Catholic, and taught by Jesuits before attending the University of San Francisco and doing a brief stint in the US army.
		The decline began after Getty divorced his first wife Gail in 1966, and married Talitha Pol, who, within five years, had turned from an envied beauty of the continental jet set - Saint-Laurent and Nureyev were among her bosom pals - to a hopeless addict, who died of a heroin overdose in Italy in 1971.
		Getty continued to give generously, and got married for a third time, in 1994, to Victoria, his companion of 20 years and the person he credited with saving him from destruction.

	J. Paul Getty Summary
		Jean Paul Getty was born on December 15, 1892, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
		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 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.

	CNN - Who was J. Paul Getty? - December 16, 1997
		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.

	Sir Paul Getty \| Obituaries \| News \| Telegraph
		Sir Paul Getty, the American-born multi-millionaire who died yesterday aged 70, was one of the most generous philanthropists Britain has ever seen.
		The third of five sons of the renowned oil-man of the same name, J Paul Getty Jr passed in his middle years through the kind of nether world of family tragedy and self-inflicted ill-health to which limitless wealth can be a passport.
		Getty once described philanthropy as "my duty"; and his charitable gifts amounted to well over £100 million - perhaps much more, since he preferred them to be unpublicised.
