1. And he was forced by the courts to reduce his stake in ITV in the UK from 17.9%

Former chief executive James Murdoch bought the 17.9% stake in a surprise move in November 2006, intending to keep Britain's biggest commercial broadcaster away from a merger with pay-TV rival NTL.

Concern about Sky's influence over ITV led to the intervention of the Competition Commission, which ruled in December 2007 that Sky should reduce its stake to 7.5%.

After spending two years appealing against the decision, Sky yesterday gave up on its last possible option of appealing to the Supreme Court and divested 10.4% of the broadcaster.

He also tried to buy Manchester United in 1998 - probably the world's largest soccer club, in terms of fans and income. Nearly all of whose matches are shown on Sky subscription channels.
