The stakes have almost certainly changed in the battle between warring factions of the family over who will control the empire of Fox Corporation and News Corporation.
The most expensive tickets in the world would be for ringside seats to this year’s Murdoch Christmas after patriarch Rupertto rule from the grave by cementing his eldest son Lachlan’s control of his vast media empire.
Where previously, Lachlan may have stood a chance of getting the support of possibly two of his siblings to enable him to retain his executive grip on both Fox and News Corp after Rupert dies, the stakes have almost certainly now changed. Rupert Murdoch’s secret move to amend the irrevocable trust democratically dividing control equally between his four eldest children was a desperately large swing.
The stakes are high and are made higher by Murdoch’s advanced years – an issue that was apparently referenced during the Nevada court proceedings, during which it was revealed that the children had started secretly discussing the public-relations strategy for their father’s death in April 2023, according toitself said to be inspired by the Murdoch dynasty.
