Thanks to a court order, internet personality and journalist Yashar Ali will be forced to give up his future earnings to Ariadne Getty, a member of one of America’s wealthiest families. Getty, the granddaughter of oil tycoon J. Paul Getty, had loaned Ali roughly $179,000 over the course of a few years, with the understanding that he would pay her back in increments of $500 per month, according to the Courthouse News Service.
