Peter Getty to pay ex-wife Jacqui $83,000 a month

Peter Getty, the bad-boy grandson of oil tycoon J. Paul Getty, will only have to pay ex-wife Jacqui Getty $83,000 a month in spousal support, and not the $535,000 she was asking, a Los Angeles judge has ruled. The New York Post also says that the judge declined to grant Jacqui Getty an order of protection, despite her testimony that her ex-hubby and heir to the Getty oil fortune was a violent drug addict who once broke her arm. Peter Getty denied breaking her arm during their bitter divorce trial.

Add Getty: The Post quotes an unnamed source as saying the $83,000 is based on “verifiable” income, “probably from investments.” Says the source: “Everybody in the Getty family gets money from the trust, but it’s not verifiable by the court. It’s hidden by the whole Getty web.”
