(Filings with the SEC expected at a later date should provide more detail on Murdoch's holdings.) Assuming he took all stock from the Disney deal, Murdoch now owns $10.5 billion worth of Disney stock. His 39% stake of the new Fox Corporation is worth $4.2 billion.
In years when Disney is paying dividends (which historically has been every year except 2020), as the owner of 37 million shares, George [Lucas] receives $32 million twice a year as a dividend payment.
Our data shows that The Vanguard Group, Inc. is the largest shareholder with 7.5% of shares outstanding. In comparison, the second and third largest shareholders hold about 6.6% and 4.0% of the stock.
In October, 20th Century Fox Television, a small-screen studio that Disney bought as part of the deal, became part of a new entity, Disney Television Studios. Mr. Murdoch still owns the Fox broadcast network, Fox News and a chain of 28 local Fox television stations, among other media assets.
According to Disney's CEO Bob Iger, the idea of purchasing Fox's assets came after Disney acquired majority control of the streaming company BAMTech with anticipation to develop its own streaming service (which would eventually be called Disney+, launched in November 2019).
After offers and counter offers, on July 19, 2017, Comcast officially announced it was dropping its bid on the Fox assets and Disney would buy 21 Century Fox for 71.3 BILLION dollars.
Does George Lucas regret selling Star Wars to Disney?
I loved them, I created them, I'm very intimately involved in them, and I sold them to the white slavers that take these things and…” Lucas' regret is only natural. There is so much he could have done with Star Wars that would have saved it from becoming the child-oriented dross that Disney has made it.
How much was George Lucas worth before Star Wars? Due mainly to the global box-office success of American Graffiti, Lucas was a multimillionaire (net worth about $4 million, or around $20 million adjusted for inflation today) before cameras rolled on his blockbuster sci-fi landmark.
He is also the founder of the production company, Lucasfilm, and the technical effects company, Industrial Light and Magic. George Lucas's $10 billion net worth makes him by far the richest celebrity in the world, the richest director and generally the richest person in the entertainment industry.
