Murdoch Family Drama Unfolds in Court: Lachlan to Inherit Power?
Rupert Murdoch's court battle to determine the future of his media empire begins this week. At stake is a £14.9bn family trust and control over News Corp and Fox News. The case pits Murdoch against three of his eldest children, with Murdoch wanting son Lachlan to take control without interference from his siblings. Differences in opinions and political views have reportedly led to a family rift. Murdoch has two other children and has been married five times. The famous family was one of the inspirations behind the hit TV series Succession. The case will likely have significant implications for the media industry and Murdoch's vast media empire. Will Lachlan inherit the power, or will Murdoch's other children fight back?
