@founded: donald sutherland as j. paul getty in trust. as one of the world’s richest oil tycoons, getty is portrayed as incredibly wealthy but also extremely guarded with his money. what makes the character fascinating is his mindset around wealth. he didn’t see money as something to simply spend. he saw it as something to protect, grow, and control. even when his family needed him, business and money remained at the center of his decisions. the real point is simple: having money doesn’t automatically change your relationship with it. sometimes, the more you have, the more you’re afraid of losing.
