A $27 million New York town house

In 2015, Murdoch acquired a gigantic 6,500-square-foot redbrick house in the heart of Manhattan’s West Village. The light-filled home includes a large cellar, a gym, and a screening room. A spacious terrace offers views of the Statue of Liberty and the nearby Empire State Building. He listed the downtown abode the year after purchasing it for $28.9 million, selling it for $27.5 million.

A $14.5 million English country house

In 2019, Murdoch spent $14.5 million on a historic Georgian estate called Holmwood House in Oxfordshire, near the village of Henley-on-Thames. Built in the early 1700s, it was home to the 19th-century poet and critic Algernon Swinburne. It boasts 11 bedrooms, an infinity pool, and a dance studio, as well as three additional buildings across 25 acres of property.

Lachlan Murdoch’s $150 million Beverly Hills home

In 2019, Lachlan Murdoch purchased a palatial Los Angeles mansion for $150 million—which marked the most expensive ever sold in the city. The 25,000-square-foot mansion, named Chartwell Estate, previously belonged to former Univision CEO Jerry Perenchio, who died in 2017. It features 11 bedrooms, 18 bathrooms, a 12,000-bottle wine cellar, a swimming pool, many acres of gardens, and even some underground passages. Chartwell Estate and its exterior were used in the credits of the 1960s comedy series The Beverly Hillbillies.

James Murdoch’s real estate holdings

In 2014, Rupert sold his Beverly Hills estate to his son James for $30 million. Designed by renowned architect Wallace Neff in the 1920s, the horseshoe-shaped construction spans 8,650 square feet, with 11 bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

James also built a relatively self-sufficient home in a remote part of British Columbia, reportedly outfitted with its own solar energy as well as a built-in bunker. The six-bedroom cabin overlooks the water and also boasts an airstrip and a floating restaurant. The property cost him $1.3 million.

The (future) English manor of Elisabeth Murdoch

Currently a work in progress, Elisabeth Murdoch’s English country mansion on the edge of the Cotswolds remains under construction. It’s situated on property worth nearly $12.5 million, while the construction costs have been estimated to be around $124 million, according to the Daily Mail. The publication claims that the final home will be one of the most expensive in the country. Plans reportedly include a spa, an indoor pool, a tennis court, nine en suite bedrooms, a cinema, and a spectacular forest of mature trees—a perfect place for the heiress to throw one of her legendary New Year’s Eve parties.
