Who is Cynthia Beck?
Beck is the former mistress of billionaire Gordon Getty, with whom she shares three children -Nicolette Getty, Kendalle Getty and Alexandra Getty.
Beck had a secret affair with Gordon Getty that lasted for 14 years. Only people in their inner circle, a select circle of San Francisco’s upper-crust society and Getty’s wife Ann Gilbert, knew about the affair.
The scandal, however, broke and became public knowledge in 1999 when Beck’s children with Getty went to court to claim their birthright – portion of the Getty family trust and legally change their last name Beck to that of their father, Getty.
Getty put out an official statement following the news scandal saying that:
“Nicolette, Kendalle and Alexandra are my children. Their mother is Cynthia Beck, and I love them very much.”

Mr. Getty had quietly “sold” the Malibu pad to Ms. Beck for just over $3 million after news about their affair broke.
