The Richest Man in the World Refused to Pay His Grandson's Ransom

Subscribe for more! This is the real story of the 1973 Getty kidnapping — where the most chilling villain wasn't the men who took the boy, but the man who was supposed to save him. In 1973, kidnappers grabbed J. Paul Getty's 16-year-old grandson off the streets of Rome and demanded $17 million. Getty was the wealthiest man alive. He said no. So they cut the boy's ear off and mailed it. Getty still negotiated to $3 million — and only paid $2.2 million he could write off on his taxes. The remaining $800,000? He loaned it to his own son at 4% interest.
