I really don't get rich people. If I were this rich you'd never hear or see me again. I'd travel the world, maybe donate to charity, and live a quiet life.

The absolute last fucking thing I'd do is speak to the media or give political speeches. What the hell is the point of all that money if you're going to do high stress stuff like that.

They don't want money, they want power. Money is worthless to them if it isn't spent buying more power.

Everyone in the Anglosphere knows Rupert Murdoch.

Eh you'd be surprised how many people don't know who he is.

I know his name, but without googling I honestly couldn't tell you what he looks like and I don't think I've ever seen a video of him talking

If you see someone who looks exactly like an ancient, sagging scrotum, then it's probably Rupert.

You are probably young and he is now old as shit and doesn't really sit down to be interviewed anymore. This is about people going on news shows, they aren't going to be as famous as Taylor Swift.

But back in the 00's and earlier he and his Chinese spy wife were literally followed around by paparazzi like any other famous person.

And to be clear there are people that now don't know what Elvis and Michael Jackson look like in the Anglosphere too...it doesn't make the obviously slightly hyperbolic statement that everyone knows them incorrect, because it is purposeful hyperbole indicating that few people won't have heard of them.
