News Corp — Net Worth and Career Earnings
News Corp generated $10.2 billion in revenue in fiscal year 2024, operating the media assets that Rupert Murdoch retained when he split off Fox Corporation in 2019. The company's most valuable asset is Dow Jones — publisher of the Wall Street Journal, Barron's and MarketWatch — whose digital subscription business has been one of the most successful business journalism transformations of the digital era. News Corp also owns HarperCollins, one of the world's largest book publishers, the UK's The Times, The Sunday Times and The Sun, and Australian property platform REA Group.
Rupert Murdoch, who built the company over 60 years from his father's Adelaide newspaper into a global media empire, stepped back from News Corp and Fox Corp chairmanships in 2023, handing control to his son Lachlan Murdoch at Fox and focusing on succession planning. The company's various assets operate across news, books, digital real estate and television, making it one of the most diversified traditional media companies still operating at scale.
