Loser #12 Rupert Murdoch

LOSS: $4 billion

We have a feeling that Rupert Murdoch doesn't like to lose. The News Corp CEO has spent the past few years acquiring newspapers, film companies, television networks, and assorted other properties.

Unfortunately this year, Rupert did lose some of his assets. More specifically, $4 billion in NewsCorp stock, knocking his stake in his own company down to $3 billion.

2. Meh. Chump change to him.

Send up a flare when he loses three times that and maybe I'll feel sorry for him. But it's not likely. :evilgrin:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

5. Yep. He has loose pallets of cash under his couch cushions.

3. So how many billions does he have left?

I lost thousands. And I don't have much left.

It must be nice to be so rich.

8. I hate to wish ill on anyone, but wouldn't you love to see Murdoch end up like.....

..... Randolph and Mortimer from the movie "Trading Places" ? Broke and busted, assets seized.

9. My heart bleeds

NOT. Given what he owns it's no insurmountable loss.

10. He should have invested it in Obama merchandise. nt

11. Eh, he's still filthy with money

Save your condolences for Tom "Globalism rocks, just ask this bellhop from Bangalore!" Friedman.

His wife, a one-time heiress to a $3.6 billion family fortune, now has a claim on a mere $25 million stake. And her family holdings stand a chance of receding into negative territory. Tommy's days among the ultra rich have suddenly drawn to a close.

12. He needs to divest of a LOT of media outlets...

There is no way on EARTH that one man should have so much control over the magazine/newspaper/TV/radio/movie business...
