And just how much money is that, and is it ever enough (just look at the latest tax giveaway to the richest people in America by the GOP)?
Director Ridley Scott's new crime thriller is based on John Pearson's 1995 book, Painfully Rich: The Outrageous Fortunes and Misfortunes of the heirs of J. Paul Getty, about the real-life kidnapping of John Paul Getty III on July 10, 1973.
The story follows the abduction of the 16-year-old grandson (played by Charlie Plummer) of the oil tycoon and one-time richest man in the world and his devoted mother (Michelle Williams) who attempts to convince his grandfather (Christopher Plummer) to pay the ransom, but he believes if he does his other fourteen grandchildren will become kidnapping targets.
After refusing to pay, his mother desperately teams up with Getty's business manager and a former CIA operative (Mark Wahlberg) to help free her son.
All the Money in the World isn't just scandalous because of Getty's refusal to pay, but also because of the current sexual harassment scandal surrounding Kevin Spacey who originally played the billionaire which led to the role being recast and re-filmed by Christopher Plummer, earning the actor a Golden Globe nomination.
A severed, bloody ear (the cost of not paying the ransom) has never looked so eye-catching and certainly stands out in the crowded city skyline.
These movie billboards and street posters were spotted along La Brea Avenue, San Vicente Boulevard, Fairfax Avenue and La Cienega Boulevard from December 1 to December 14, 2017.
With the feature film up for Best Actor, Best Actress for Michelle Williams and Best Director, can this biopic take home all the statuettes this awards season.
Happy Boxing Day and enjoy the movie if you're off to the cinema to see it today.

UPDATED: Here's also an Oscar awards consideration billboard for the film spied along the Sunset Strip on January 10, 2018.
Maybe if the movie wins Michelle Williams will get equal pay for her reshooting work on par with Mark Wahlberg.

Plus here's another FYC ad example spied high over San Vicente Boulevard on January 12, 2018.
