Rupert Murdoch loses bid in real-life 'Succession' battle with kids
Published On Dec 9, 2024, 6:27 PM
A Nevada court has denied Rupert Murdoch's attempt to change a family trust to give control of his media empire to his eldest son, Lachlan. This decision reflects a family dispute over the control of News Corp and Fox News, with implications for the future of the companies amidst political and personal tensions within the family. The ruling, which found that the Murdochs acted in 'bad faith', may leave more uncertainty over the succession plan that has been in place since 1999, potentially delaying decisions about the direction of the family business.
