Yup, it was right out of "Succession": Rupert Murdoch and his son Lachlan, fighting three other Murdoch children in court. That means Lachlan Murdoch will need to share control of his father's empire with three siblings when Rupert dies. Rupert Murdoch has argued that it was important to make sure Lachlan Murdoch ran the family business the way Rupert Murdoch ran it. I also contacted Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch's rep for comment. Instead, that discussion eventually prompted Rupert Murdoch to amend the family trust later that year to give Lachlan full control.
