Getty, the world's richest man, is a budget-conscious person. He does not use the laundry service provided by the hotel when he lives in a hotel, and installs a coin-operated phone in his home to save on phone bills. He described a ten-dollar tourist souvenir as a BC antique bought at a bargain price on the black market, worth 1.2 million, and successfully won the hearts of his son's family. For him, only more money can make him feel safe.
"The biggest difficulty in life is figuring out what the price of everything is."
But Getty did not disregard family affection. After receiving a letter from his son, he arranged for her the position of vice president, even though his son knew nothing about the oil industry. After learning that his grandson Paul was kidnapped, Getty also recruited his own capable people to deal with it. He just wanted to exchange the maximum benefit at the minimum cost, but because the tax avoidance limit was only 1 million, he was only willing to pay a ransom of 1 million.
Family love is priceless. The kidnapper who has been helping Paul felt that if his child was kidnapped, even if he tried to steal, rob, and use all means, he should pay the full ransom instead of bargaining. Paul's mother also thought so. That's the difference between the common man and the richest man.
