6. Rupert Murdoch – Net worth $11.9 Billion

Remember that one time you were watching TV, read a newspaper or listened to the radio? Well, the odds are good that Rupert Murdoch owned the station or paper you were enjoying at the time. The Australian born Murdoch inherited two Australian newspapers from his father in 1952, a modest inheritance when compared to the sprawling media empire Murdoch controls today. From the Wall Street Journal to Fox everything to Harper Collins, there’s a good possibility you’ve dealt with Murdoch’s empire some time in the last 24 hours.
