Mark Getty’s yacht Talitha in Gibraltar.

Built in 1930

Talitha was built in 1930 for Russell Alger, Chairman of the Packard Car Company.

Getty Family

She was bought by Paul Getty in 1988 and was refitted in 1999 to a design of Jon Bannenberg. She is now owned by his son Mark Getty

Mark Getty

Mark is heir to the Getty Oil fortune and founder of Getty Images.

Getty Oil Corporation

The company was founded in 1942 by his grandfather Jean Paul Getty Sr. Jean’s father George Getty was already active in the oil business. George started the Minnehoma Oil Company in 1904. In 1913, George lent his son Jean-Paul (then aged 21) money to invest in oil wells. Two years later Jean-Paul had made his first million and the following year George and Jean-Paul incorporated Getty Oil.

In the 1980s Getty Oil was sold to Texaco for US$ 8 billion.

SuperYachtFan

What started as a ‘yacht spotter’ hobby, turned into a fast-growing yachting site with thousands of unique daily visitors.

In 2009 SuperYachtFan in its current format was published online and soon the focus changed from ‘yacht photos’ to ‘yacht owners’, creating the Super Yacht Owners Register. A database with more than 1,450 yacht owners.

This was an instant success as many people around the world are interested in, or curious about, these multi-million dollar yachts and their wealthy owners. (Luxury travels of the Billionaire Boys Club)
