James Murdoch
James Murdoch, born in 1972 in Wimbledon, London, is the media scion who tried to step out of his father Rupert's shadow while wrestling with the family’s legacy. Known for his tenure as CEO of 21st Century Fox, James oversaw the company during both its expansion and its embroilment in the infamous phone-hacking scandal, which tainted his leadership and left him facing parliamentary scrutiny. Despite his attempts to modernize and distance himself from the conservative leanings of his family's empire, James remains a complicated figure—a mix of ambition, controversy and the ever-present Murdoch name that continues to shape his path.
