Newsom’s Getty dynasty ties collide with his claims of a struggling childhood
This isn't complicated—it's willpower.
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing renewed backlash over characterizing his childhood as financially difficult despite cozy ties to one of the most prominent and wealthy families in the world: the Gettys.
"People assume Newsom comes from money. He doesn’t. Access, yes. Privilege, yes. Money, no. The most compelling aspect of Newsom’s biography is his schizophrenic upbringing, vis-à-vis wealth," said a profile published in Vogue Sunday, which also previewed an upcoming memoir from Newsom. "After his parents’ divorce, his father seems not to have provided much financial support. Tessa Newsom, née Menzies, scrambled to keep the family afloat."
"Young Gavin chipped in, picking up a newspaper route and a job as a busboy. They took in foster kids because the government stipend helped pay the rent. Meanwhile, there were the Gettys," Vogue continued before launching into the Newsom family ties to the powerful Getty family, an American dynasty built on oil.
Newsom’s memoir, "Young Man in a Hurry: A Memoir of Discovery," is slated for release Feb. 24. Vogue spotlighted him in a lengthy profile published Sunday, featuring photos by famed portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz. Newsom is widely viewed as a potential Democratic presidential contender in 2028, and he’s set to leave office in 2027 as California’s term-limited governor.
CALIFORNIA PROGRESSIVES THINK NEWSOM COURTING CONSERVATIVES ON HIS PODCAST IS A 'TOUGH SWALLOW'
"Let’s get this out of the way: He is embarrassingly handsome, his hair seasoned with silver, at ease with his own eminence as he delivers his final State of the State address," the Vogue article kicks off on the prominent Democrat and longtime political foe of President Donald Trump.
Conservative critics unleashed on Newsom attempting to portray himself as having a struggling childhood when his father worked as a "consigliere" — or trusted advisor — for the Getty family, with Gordon Getty, son of oil tycoon J. Paul Getty, taking Gavin Newsom and his sister, Hilary, on vacations to Kenya or Canada.
Newsom’s family ties to the Gettys have long been in the background of his career, including Gordon Getty helping bankroll Newsom's PlumpJack Group, a hospitality company that includes Northern California wineries.
