Purpose and benefits

Jean Paul Getty (1892–1976), son of an oil prospector, was born with a silver shovel in his mouth. Although his father was a multi-millionaire, Getty inherited just $500,000 of the $15 million family fortune. Undaunted, he acquired control of his father’s company and spent 20 years amassing a collection of oil interests, including Western Oil, Tidewater Oil, and Skelly Oil. He also dabbled in the property market, buying prestigious hotels in Mexico and the United States.
