Rupert Murdoch

News Corp
New York, United States
Rupert Murdoch built one of the world's largest media empires starting from a single Australian newspaper inherited at age 22. News Corp owns The Wall Street Journal, New York Post, HarperCollins, and dozens of other outlets globally. Through 21st Century Fox, Murdoch shaped cable news globally via Fox News and Sky. He stepped back as chairman of Fox Corp and News Corp in 2023, transitioning to his son Lachlan's leadership. Arguably the most influential media figure of the 20th century.
