Actor Armie Hammer's great-grandfather, Armand, was an oil tycoon and, like his great-grandson, was a controversial figure.
Armand Hammer, Armie Hammer's grandfather, was an oil tycoon who managed Occidental Petroleum Corporation. According to Britannica, under Armand Hammer's leadership, Occidental went from the brink of bankruptcy to bringing in billions of dollars annually. In 1986, Forbes estimated Armand Hammer's net worth to be $200 million.
However, according to Elle, Armand Hammer's biographer, Neil Lyndon, referred to him as "the most satanic man of the second half of the 20th Century" and the "embodiment of sin [and] ruthless ego" in a 2022 docuseries, "House of Hammer."
"In terms of corrupting the political process, in terms of controlling people, and making them dance his tune, there is no comparison," said Lyndon.
Armie Hammer has also been mired in controversy. Two women have accused him of sexual abuse, including an ex-girlfriend, Courtney Vucekovich, who claimed to have endured trauma throughout her romantic relationship with the actor. According to Vucekovich, in addition to suffering from sexual abuse inflicted by Armie, he sent her messages in which he alluded to cannibalistic desires, including, "I am 100% a cannibal" and "I want to eat you." Armie Hammer has denied the allegations, saying that any interactions with his partners were consensual.
In 2022, Casey Hammer, Armie Hammer's aunt, told Insider that she "wasn't surprised or shocked" by allegations against him.
"You don't just wake up one day and become a monster," she said. "It's a learned behavior and again, that's why I wasn't shocked by a lot of what was happening."
