Getty’s Munitz Made Deal For $300,000 Book Deal With Former Board Chair

Former Getty president “Barry Munitz agreed to pay retired Getty board Chairman David Gardner nearly $300,000 to write a coffee-table book after Gardner left the foundation’s board in 2004. Plans for the book, which was to commemorate the Getty’s 25th anniversary, were canceled in March, a month after Munitz resigned amid turmoil at the nonprofit foundation — but not before Gardner had collected $178,000 over 19 months for little work.”
