Rupert Murdoch Wants Lachlan To Inherit Control Of Media Empire, Sparking Legal Battle With Other Children Report – Deadline
HBOs Succession looks more and more like the House Of Murdoch, where Patriarch Rupert is fighting with three of his adult children over who will control the family media empire when he passes.
An irrevocable trust in place for years would hand control to four of them Lachlan, James, Elisabeth and Prudence. But Murdoch the elder is trying to change that by ensuring that Lachlan, the current CEO of Fox, would remain in charge, according to a story in the New York Times. Thats created a rift with the other three siblings, who are trying to block him.
Prudence is Murdochs eldest daughter from his first wife, Patricia Booke. Lachlan, Elisabeth and James are his children from Anna Torv. Rupet Murdoch, 93, had two children with his third wife, Wendi Deng, who have an economic interest in the trust but no voting control.
