Fox Corporation CEO Lachlan Murdoch's pay dipped slightly to $31 million in the 2026 fiscal year, according to the company's latest proxy filing. This decrease from $33 million in fiscal 2025 is attributed to several factors, including a change in pension value, non-qualified deferred compensation earnings, and other compensations.
The package included a $3 million base salary, $8.68 million in stock awards, $2.75 million in option awards, and $11.4 million in non-equity incentive plan compensation. Murdoch's "other" compensation totaled $2.12 million, which included personal use of the company aircraft, a car allowance, 401(k) contributions, life insurance premiums, and residential security.
The CEO's contract was extended through 2030, with an increase in the target annual bonus to $9 million and target annual equity award to $20 million. This pay disclosure comes as Fox is set to acquire Roku for $22 billion, a deal expected to close in the first half of 2027.
