At 82, Murdoch's not afraid of new beginnings. 2013 saw the divide his News Corp. media and entertainment empire into two unequal parts: a big one consisting mainly of TV
and film properties (21st Century Fox) and a smaller one for newspaper and book publishing (News Corp.).
Murdoch also made a split in his personal life, filing for divorce from third wife Wendi. His net worth has climbed $4 billion over the past year as a result of 50% jump in 21st Century Fox stock.
