GREEN RANKING FOR 2009
Ranking: 44=
Worth: £750m
Green investment: Conservation

Caroline Getty and sister Anne Catherine Getty Earhart are heirs of oil tycoon J Paul Getty. After a battle over Getty’s estate, a 1985 settlement gave the sisters $750m apiece. Both live in California where they have backed environmental causes. Caroline Getty gave $1m to Nature Conservancy in support of two California parks bonds. She’s on the governing council of The Wilderness Society and has served on the boards of the World Wildlife Fund and the National Fish and Wildlife Organisation. The sisters’ wealth was put at about $1 billion by the Orange County Business Journal rich list last August. We clip that back to £750m.
