Born on March 11, 1931 in Australia, Rupert Murdoch is the controlling shareholder, chairman and managing director of the international media group, News Corporation. Beginning with newspapers, magazines and television stations in his native Australia, Murdoch has expanded News Corp into British, American and Asia. In recent years News Corp has become a leading investor in satellite television, the film industry, the Internet, and other forms of media. Murdoch has been parodied numerous times in popular culture, and takes these events in stride. Murdoch played himself in an episode of The Simpsons, introducing himself to Homer as "Rupert Murdoch, the billionaire tyrant." We just hope he likes his egg. #241 Rupert Murdoch Carved Emu Egg $95.00
