Tasteful Friends: Balthazar Getty's LA Home for sale

The Sally Field Programme paid enough to buy a $9 million home???

He must be one of the 'Getty' Gettys

I would love to have that house. Perfect.

He's a Getty Getty, you twat.

R4 How was I supposed to know this nobody was from THE Getty family?

He's not the Getty who was kidnapped and got his ear cut off, though.

I want to be there.

You'd think with all that money he could a least get plastic surgery that didn't make him look like an animated embalmed corpse

Yes he is one of THE Gettys.

[quote] He's not the Getty who was kidnapped and got his ear cut off, though.

That was his father.

It was his father? Balthazar was lucky to be born with both ears intact then.

R1 and R5 because everyone knew that about him when he had his little acting career?

Supposedly worth 200 million dollars......

He was in Lord of the Flies.

How much of that is Getty money?

I could live there as is.

Double Duh. It's ALL Getty money he spent what little he ever earned. Getty Money is inexhaustible.

Considering he was only on a few seasons of the Sally Programme I doubt he made millions from it.

I always thought he was hot with his eyebrow scar.

Who ever buys that house would forever be vacuuming cocaine up off the carpet though.

Balthazar Getty is just my type. I loved him in that wine show.

If his dad was the kidnapped Getty do I remember it correctly that the dad either did gay porn or showed his cock in a porn mag?

Only Getty known for something other than being a mess. As of now anyway. Nats Getty is the most interesting one now. From all signs, headed down a more classic Getty path.

*SIDE NOTE*

It was Balthazar's grandfather who paid the ransom for his (Balthazar's) kidnapped father.

The grandfather not only demand repayment for the ransom but with interest too.

My god, he was just a little kid yesterday. How do people get so old so fast??

Am I the only one who hates having a bathtub in the middle of the floor.

As great as the view is, this is the reason that I refuse to make an offer.

Love it. Love it. Love it!!! Now if I just had an extra 9 million.

Spectacular, but it looks like it could slide down that hill at any moment.

That house is amazing. It must be so nice inheriting money. You don’t have to work and you get to live in a place like that.

I like it, but it needs an infusion of. good taste. Some Diebenkorns, Robert Motherwells, perhaps a Picasso or two. Some great. rugs. Lush green plants in. interesting pots.

Cool, elegant, cerebral, and recalling some of the famous Case Study houses of LA and some modern Mediterranean villas..

If you're going to have a modern house in the Hollywood Hills, why not do it well like this?

R28 is right, the thing it needs is some great pictures.

What is his relation to Elizabeth Taylor? Grandson? Daughter-in-law‘s brother?

R28, he probably does have an extensive art collection but when photographing the home all things of value are taken down to not let thieves know what they own. I’ve worked on staging photos for real estate purposes and anything of value is taken down and put in the owner’s outside art storage, it’s like Public Storage for the uber wealthy.

His aunt Aileen Getty was married to Christopher Wilding, Elizabeth’s son R30

He's a (former) addict who had a messy affair with druggie Sienna Miller. They've both since cleaned up their acts.

I thought that was the point of having portraits painted featuring very ugly family members - perhaps given better tits or removal of at least one chin. Nobody steals those.

I’d feature a profile portrait of earless Dad Getty.

Matthew Rhys (his co-star on the Sally Field show) was dating Sienna. That's how Balthazaar met her. He dumped his wife and 4 kids for Sienna and she dumped Matthew (do the math $$$$). Then he ran off to Italy with her where he was photographed all over with Sienna and her tits. It embarrassed his wife to within an inch of her life. The Murdoch tabloids were all over this.

Matthew, Sally and the rest of the ladies on the show hated Balthazaar after this and his days were numbered on the show. It didn't help that he was using drugs and acting like a dick to everyone on set either

Didn't Jude Law and Daniel Craig do Sienna Miller also? Gawd she's like the town bicycle, everyone's had a ride.

Just ghastly....

Thank you R32

R21 Nats Getty is Balthy's first cousin. She and her brother are both openly gay.

Not much of a pool. [sniff]

Did his wife stay with him? Is that her in the picture @OP?

You're mixing up Balthazar's grandfather with his great-grandfather R22. They're all named John Paul. It was Balthazar's great grandfather, John Paul Getty ( Getty Museum), who finally paid the ransom for his teenage grandson ( Balthazar's father) John Paul Getty III. Balthazar's grandfather was Sir John Paul Getty (Jr.) He borrowed the balance of the ransom $ for his son from his own father, John Paul Getty, and JPGetty charged him interest. Side Note: Sir John Paul Getty Jr was married to Tabitha Pol. Great pictures of them in sixties Marrakesh and Rome. Balthazar, his grandfather, and his father were drug addicts. It runs in the family--along with the name John Paul.

She stayed with him when he broke off the affair. She's a clothing designer. R41

Wow, she stayed with him? Talk about no self-worth.

Funny what inherited wealth does to people. By the third generation, they are all certifiably batshit crazy.

I find it amazing that 6000 sq ft is enough to fit 7 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms and 3 half-bathrooms along with other rooms.

Maybe no self-worth. But WORTH $$$ R44

I used to wank to his pictures.

R47, your dignity and self-worth should never have a price tag. Money ain't worth sacrificing those things. She should've had enough faith in herself to leave his ass.

If those pictures were from his Lord of the Flies days, R48 = Bryan Singer.

He was hot in his 20s. His house is stunning,

[quote] Didn't Jude Law and Daniel Craig do Sienna Miller also? Gawd she's like the town bicycle, everyone's had a ride.

She sounds like a girl who knows how to have fun. And how to get some prime dick.

I always find it funny that sexually active females are criticized on a gay board where some guys probably have sex with more people in a few months than Sienna Miller has during her whole life. Sex is great and there's nothing wrong with it if both parties agree to it. Then again I assume the slut shaming is many times coming from fraus or the guys who tend to view all women through their mothers.

Now is she a homewrecker? It takes two to tango. Having known actors I tend to view them as passionate people who are more or less sex hungry sluts, especially the good-looking ones. Actors fucking around is as surprising as a new day arriving after a night. You might feel sorry for the actors' partners but they probably had an inkling what the people they were marrying are like from the start. Then again actors are good at acting so who knows what roles they play at home.

Marlene Dietrich was a gal who got prime dick (and pussy) including married dick (and Marlene was married herself) and managed to seem classy about it. Sienna Miller was the hot sexy skank of the industry for years, and yes she rode some hot cock. See the difference?

...not one of these Gettys.

Fucking awful, just like every other drab white concrete box, one blends into the next into the next. Not-so-little ticky tacky boxes on the hillside, and they all look just the same. Nice location though

[quote]Marlene Dietrich was a gal who got prime dick (and pussy) including married dick (and Marlene was married herself) and managed to seem classy about it. Sienna Miller was the hot sexy skank of the industry for years, and yes she rode some hot cock. See the difference?

Dietrich lived in a totally different era. It might be news to the jealous fraus but Sienna Miller isn't generally seen as a sex crazy harlot.

I'll throw in an extra million if they push it back about a 1/4 of a mile so it isn't on the edge

[quote]She sounds like a girl who knows how to have fun. And how to get some prime dick

She did. She's actually a good actress, but their affair killed his career and hurt hers. She is seen as a whore. That's because she is. Almost every relationship she's had has started off with someone who is either married or in a long term relationship. She started her career off with Harvey Weinstein's dick. Then she moved onto Jude Law. Much to the regret of his wife and 4 children. Although it was the one very rare instance where Jude didn't rub this behavior in the faces of his wife/partner and children

It's one thing to be a whore in private, it's a whole other thing to get involved with married men with lots of children and to shout it from the rooftops. And that's exactly what she did. Balthazaar had four kids and she was so pleased with herself for helping to break up his marriage. Instead of having a sliver of decency and hiding it, she was loud and proud about the situation. Drugs make people do stupid things.

Sienna has a daughter now, who will be teased because her mom couldn't keep her clothes on or her legs shut. Her daughter will probably go on to repeat all the mistakes her mother made. Not many people would or should be proud of that
