The Murdoch Family — $20 Billion (News Corp/Fox)
$20B. $787.5M defamation settlement. Inspired Succession. Real drama worse.
The Murdoch family wields unparalleled influence through a media empire that includes Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and The Sun, shaping what billions read and believe. A concrete blow came in 2023 with a $787.5 million defamation settlement over Dominion Voting Systems—the largest in U.S. history. The high-stakes succession battle among Rupert and his four children, mirroring HBO's Succession, now plays out in Nevada courts. Their wealth may be lower, but their impact on elections and democracy remains profound.
