About Me

Gordon Getty, whose oil tycoon father J. Paul died in 1976, led the sale of his family's Getty Oil to Texaco for $10.1 billion in 1984. Once the sole trustee of the family trust, Getty orchestrated the breakup into six separate trusts in 1985. Getty is a classical music composer, whose compositions include the Canterville Ghost, Plump Jack and Usher House. Since 2008, Getty has given more than $450 million to his philanthropic foundation, which supports performing arts, music and museum projects. He founded PlumpJack Winery in 1995 with Gavin Newsom, now California's governor.
