James Murdoch is the youngest son and heir of the entertainment business mogul, Rupert Murdoch. James earned his billionaire status upon acquisition of The Walt Disney Company of 21st Century Fox in 2019. At present, James has stepped down as a board member of News Corp. James was born in London in 1972 and attended Harvard University until he dropped out in 1995. James’ first business investment was Rawkus Records in 1995, which was later purchased by the News Corporation.

Since then, James’ involvement in the family business became imminent, particularly at News Corporation. He also serves other business ventures of his family, and recently, he entered Tesla as an independent director of the board. Though James has stepped down from his position at News Corp., he is still a rightful heir to News Corp. James married Kathryn Hufschmid, in 2000, with whom he has three children.
