Show Notes

What makes an oil heiress start funding anti-oil protests?

The Gettys have long been synonymous with art, oil and scandal. But now, J. Paul Getty’s granddaughter, Aileen Getty, is rebelling against her family’s legacy in a shocking way – and her fortune just might play a key role in the future of climate activism. Sam and Ali speak to a Getty biographer to peek behind the curtain of this complicated family. They also meet a few people who have a unique understanding of this family’s role in the art scene and how their money shapes the world as we know it.
