The Getty Family Is Back in Business

Posted by TimSlavin at March 18, 2004

"Bent on re-engaging part of the Getty family fortune in active commerce, Getty and co-founder Jonathan Klein in the mid-'90s began acquiring stock photography and film supply houses. They aggressively migrated their budding photo-distribution empire onto the Web, just as digital imagery and Internet commerce were poised to go mainstream. Soon, Getty Images emerged as a thriving dot-com. What Amazon.com did for consumers shopping for books or CDs, Getty Images has quietly done for media companies hunting for images to insert in ads and internal publications, or to splice into TV programs or movies." Great internet success story from USA Today.
