The choice between money and family is just an appearance. The deeper level is the game between the wealthy old Getty and the kidnapper. The reason why he didn't pay is to give the kidnapper an illusion that he doesn't like the grandson Paul, but he ignored it. The fact that the hostages will be traded to others as commodities also confirms that any items he said before have value, so the whole article is about the relationship between the three.

The whole article is not as exciting as expected, and it can only be given to Samsung.
