Rupert Murdoch's net worth? According to Forbes, $7.8 billion.
That's "net worth" in MONETARY terms, not "net worth" as a "human being."

Man, those quarters really add up. Post Sith Lord Rupert Murdoch received $19 million bonus last year, bringing his salary to $23.6 million. Murdoch’s net worth is estimated by Forbes as $7.8 billion, which probably means he spent his bonus on hats, or perhaps nick-knacks for the kitchen. Maybe cat food.

By the way, his son, the prodigal Lachlan Murdoch, who just quit his position at the Post, made $7.8 million last year, and he’ll get almost $7 million more when he officially leaves his office at the end of the month. Which is the type of thing that just puts everybody reading this in the best mood.

2. Net worth as a human being?
$0.00 Nothing, zilch, nada, nil, zero, goose eggs. He gained the world and lost his soul. Not that he cares. A man like this can count his true friends on one hand with four fingers missing. Why isn't Pat Robertson praying for the demise of such an ungodly man such as Murdoch? Money, that's why.

3. He'll be the true test of the camel passing through the eye of the needle.
I wonder if he really understands that "you can't take it with you?"

He'll find out soon enough, I'm sure.
