Few could resist an invitation from the Gettys, whose patriarch, the five-times married J. Paul Getty, started off with a few Oklahoma oilfields and ended up being known as 'the world's richest man'. But those who were lucky enough to enjoy Getty largesse – perhaps at Wormsley, the 2,500-acre estate acquired and restored by John Paul Getty Jr, or on a yacht off St Tropez – may pause to reflect on the fate of Mogens Tholstrup. Now I can reveal that the plane belonged to Tara Getty, 57 – third and youngest son of John Paul Getty Jr – and was piloted by Anton, the man who ferries the family around Zuka, their breathtaking 15,000-acre estate. Mogens Tholstrup, pictured with former flame Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, is in hospital in Cape TownMogens's wife, Gretha, posted a video of his rehabilitation. Tara was just three when his mother, the beautiful Talitha Pol, died of an overdose, and five when his half-brother, John Paul Getty III, was kidnapped.
