The Solitary Billionaire: J. Paul Getty

on BBC Television

Alan Whicker reports from a private world.
From his home in Surrey Paul Getty, who is so rich he could buy himself a new mini-car every day for 16,000 years, tells for the first time how he made a billion-and what it has done to him.
Regarded by conservative spenders as a most conservative spender, Getty discusses reports of his meanness... the reason for all those unsuccessful marriages... why he keeps working, making more money, adding to his problems.. what he's had to sacrifice to become the Richest Man.. what he's done to deserve it all... how he spends it! He dodges nothing.
