Rupert Murdoch, the founder of a global media empire that includes the News Corporation and its Fox News Channel subsidiary, is an extremely wealthy man.
A March 2009 news story claims he is worth $3.38 billion (Australian):
The Daily Telegraph - March 25, 2009 03:58pm
RUPERT Murdoch's wealth has halved but he is back on top of the annual BRW list of Australia's top 200 executives.
In a year when the total wealth of executive in the list was more than halved, News Corp chairman Mr Murdoch was first with $3.38 billion, compared with $7.9 billion last year, BRWmagazine's third annual Rich Executive list found.
What is the primary economic message conveyed by Murdoch´s media empire? Isn´t it that we should pursue policies that benefit wealthy individuals and corporations? Is anyone surprised?
Thats a easy answer.
