Behind the scenes of Rupert Murdoch’s Media Dynasty’s Nasty Family Fee

In the case of Murdoch, life does not imitate art, it influences it. At the end of 2023, Rupert, 93, and his Protégé son Lachlan, 53, brothers and sisters James, 52, Prudence, 67 and Elisabeth, 56, tried their right to share control of the worldwide empire of several billions.

The Murdochs are already a fragmented family. In contrast to the Ultra-Conservative Rupert and Lachlan, James and his left sisters often disagree with the two about issues such as climate change and politics

A Bombshell report from the New York Times showed that Rupert had hoped to convince his children that Lachlan was in charge of the Fox -Rijk, which effectively gave all power, the only way ahead.

Rupert’s proposal, which he called “project family harmony”, had the opposite effect, in which Elisabeth really told her father: “You have completely rid me of me and my brothers and sisters. You have blown a gap in the family.”
