Rupert Murdoch, 94, has sealed a long-awaited family settlement, finally ending years of bitter wrangling over control of his global media empire. Signed in the US on Monday, the deal cements Lachlan Murdoch as the undisputed heir.
The outcome is pivotal: the Murdoch dynasty controls powerhouse outlets from Fox News to The Wall Street Journal and The Times. The settlement not only secures Lachlan's rise but also reveals why his siblings ultimately stepped aside.
