Jean Paul Getty was an American businessman who has a net worth of USD2 billion at the time of his death in 1976. J. Paul Getty earned his net worth as the founder of Getty Oil Company. Getty was born into his fathers (George Getty) petroleum business but made a name for himself as one of the first people in the world to have made over USD1 billion. In 1914, Getty was given USD10,000 by his father in order to invest in expanding the familys oil field holdings in Oklahoma. Even though he did not purchase an extensive amount of art of his own collection due to his frugality, by the time of his death his own collection was valued at around USD4 million and transferred to the Getty Museum. The couple had one son together, George, and then divorced in 1926. In 1932, he also married Ann Rork, though he had already been in a relationship with her for two years prior while he was trying to divorce Helmle. Timothy had a brain tumor and died at the age of 12.
