The Gettys have been one of the most doomed super-rich families, cursed like the Kennedys, Guccis and Versaces.
Major tragedies include: youngest son Timothy dying of a brain tumour at 12 (father skipped the funeral); eldest son George’s 1973 suicide by stabbing and overdose; John Paul Jr’s wife Talitha dying of heroin overdose in 1971; the 1973 kidnapping of grandson John Paul III (ear severed), followed by his 1981 overdose/stroke leaving him quadriplegic and disabled until his death in 2011; plus later drug-related deaths of grandsons Andrew (2015) and John Gilbert (2020, fentanyl complications).
This kidnapping story was depicted in Ridley Scott’s 2017 film “All the Money in the World” and the 2018 FX miniseries “Trust”.
Money really can’t buy happiness.
Netflix has a new movie coming out where a family gets trapped inside their own house for four years. They can’t get out, the windows repair themselves if they break them, and all I could think about was how are they going to have enough food 😂 I’d be worried about that before anything else.
NEW FOOTAGE EMERGES: YOUNG WOMAN CAPTURES FINAL MOMENTS INSIDE HOT AIR BALLOON AS IT DESCENDS IN UNCONTROLLED FREE FALL AFTER MID-AIR FIRE
A heartbreaking incident in Brazil has left the nation in shock after a hot air balloon caught fire mid-flight, leading to a fatal crash from a significant altitude.
Reports indicate that a young woman on board captured the final moments inside the balloon as it rapidly descended in uncontrolled free fall after the fire broke out. The video, now widely circulated, shows the terrifying descent as the aircraft went down with passengers trapped onboard.
Authorities say the balloon was carrying a family group when the fire erupted at a high altitude, leaving little to no chance of escape. Emergency responders were deployed immediately, but survivors were not confirmed at the time of reporting.
The incident has triggered widespread grief across Brazil, with social media flooded by condolences and calls for stricter safety regulations in aerial tourism.
Investigations are currently underway to determine what caused the fire and whether safety protocols were violated.
This remains a developing story.
