A propos de cet article

Grandson of Getty Oil founder J. Paul Getty, "Little Paul's" life may have been cursed by money and privilege from the moment he was born. Falling in with the wrong people and abandoned by his famous family, Getty was a child of his international jet set era, moving from Marrakesh to Rome, nightclubs to well-appointed drug dens.
