J.P. Getty was a billionaire who was known for two things: his vast wealth, and his stinginess. Although his father thought him a disappointment, early on, he was later to prove to be a capable businessman, especially when it came to striking oil and making lucrative deals. As for his miserliness, it was displayed at every turn, be it when he installed a pay-phone in his mansion so as to avoid his guests living off him, or when he refused to pay his son's ransom after a kidnapping. All in all, J.P. Getty is an interesting character and it won't hurt to know a little more about this billionaire. These are his success/motivational/nspirational

qualified, give up the
fight before it really begins.
