Former CNN anchor Piers Morgan closed a $27 million funding round at a reported valuation of $145 million as part of efforts to grow his widely popular brand called Uncensored. The funding round was backed by investors, including Raine Ventures, Antenna Group, as well as British businessmen Simon and David Reuben. Note that the Reuben family placed second on the Sunday Times Rich List 2026.
However, the support from Elisabeth Murdoch as well has become a talking point as Morgan transitioned his Uncensored brand from her father Rupert Murdoch's nightly show on TalkTV to an independent YouTube venture in 2025. Morgan also acquired full ownership of Uncensored from Murdoch's News UK.
