Lachlan garnered media attention in 2019 when he paid $150 million for a 10-acre estate in Bel-Air. The "Chartwell" house appeared in the opening title sequence of the 1960s television series "The Beverly Hillbillies."

When it was purchased, it was the most expensive house ever purchased in California.

A few months later, Jeff Bezos paid $300 million for a nearby mansion and lost that title. A 1.3-acre undeveloped site that Ronald and Nancy Reagan lived on up until their deaths was part of the deal.

It was discovered that Lachlan had paid $14 million for one of his neighboring houses in August 2020. Cheryl Tiegs, a former top model, was the seller.

CEO Lachlan Murdoch's salary in the year 2021 was $27.7 million.

Despite being a significant number, it pales compared to his 2020 compensation of $29.15 million.

The pandemic-related base salary pay reduction was to blame for the decrease in remuneration.

It was also much lower than 2019, the year the business completed the sale of Fox's entertainment assets to Disney.
