Lachlan Murdoch is the son of Newscorp founder Rupert Murdoch. Lachlan officially became a billionaire in 2019 when Disney acquired Fox from umbrella company Newscorp for $71 billion.

Real Estate: In 2019 Lachlan made headlines when he purchased a 10-acre estate in Bel-Air for $150 million. The home, which is known as “Chartwell”, was used in the opening title sequence for the 1960s TV series “The Beverly Hillbillies”. It was the most-expensive home purchased in California history at the time it was bought. He lost that tile a few months later when Jeff Bezos paid $300 million for a nearby estate.
