May 29, 2019 at 05:42 am by Staff


The two Australian children of Rupert Murdoch have found their way to 18th and 22nd on the 2019 Australian Financial Review's rich list thanks to their father's Disney deal.

Lachlan Murdoch is ranked 18th on the 2019 Financial Review Rich List with estimated personal wealth of $3.6 billion, and his sister Prudence MacLeod 22nd and is estimated to be worth $3.1 billion.

None of Rupert Murdoch's other four children are Australian citizens.

Family wealth was boosted after each was given 17 million shares in Walt Disney Company after it bought 21st Century Fox.

Note: Lachlan Murdoch's personal wealth was incorrectly stated in an earlier report.
