J. Paul Getty III was the grandson of the richest man in the world—a billionaire with $2 billion to his name. When 16-year-old Paul was kidnapped in Rome and held in a mountain cave, his grandfather's response was unthinkable: he refused to pay, famously stating that if he paid one penny, he'd have 14 kidnapped grandchildren. In this video, we uncover the chilling true story of the 1973 kidnapping of John Paul Getty III. We examine how the billionaire treated his grandson's life as a financial problem, the horrific mutilation that forced a partial ransom payment, and the tragic, lifelong consequences for the young survivor.
