Executive summary

Public filings and market-data sites show institutional investors—Vanguard, State Street, BlackRock and others—are the largest listed shareholders of Fox Corporation’s publicly traded classes, while reporting repeatedly identifies Lachlan Murdoch as the largest individual insider shareholder (examples: Vanguard/BlackRock as top institutions; Lachlan Murdoch holding tens of millions of shares) [1] [2] [3]. Available sources do not provide a single consolidated, up‑to‑the‑minute list of every largest individual shareowner in numeric order; instead, investor pages and financial data services offer overlapping snapshots and note the Murdoch family trust/control structure [4] [5].

1. Institutional owners dominate public data — Vanguard, State Street, BlackRock lead

Multiple finance trackers list the biggest institutional holders first: Vanguard Group Inc., State Street Corporation and BlackRock Inc. repeatedly appear as Fox’s top institutional shareholders, reflecting common index and passive‑fund ownership patterns for large-cap media names [1] [6]. These are institutional ownership tallies reported by services that aggregate SEC 13F/13D filings and exchange data; they do not by themselves identify “individual” persons [1].

2. Lachlan Murdoch named as the top individual insider

Several sources that track insider and individual holdings single out Lachlan K. Murdoch as Fox’s largest individual shareholder, reporting holdings in the tens of millions of shares and a roughly high‑single-digit to near‑20% stake depending on the class and the source’s aggregation [2] [3]. TipRanks and WallStreetZen/other ownership pages explicitly identify Lachlan Murdoch as the largest individual Fox shareholder [3] [2].

3. The Murdoch family/control structure matters — trust and dual‑class shares

Beyond raw share counts, Fox’s governance and ownership are shaped by a family trust and dual‑class share structure that concentrates control. Financial-context writeups note a Murdoch family trust and insiders control a large portion of voting power—often cited around ~40% in summary pieces—so “largest shareholders” can mean differing things: largest by economic ownership vs. largest by voting influence [5]. Investor relations materials confirm proxy and shareholder documents are publicly available for details [4].

4. Data sources vary; public trackers show overlapping but not identical snapshots

Sites such as Fintel, Nasdaq’s holdings pages, MarketBeat, Yahoo Finance, Simply Wall St, MarketScreener and niche aggregators (StockZoa, WallStreetZen) all publish owner lists, yet they draw on different filing dates, classes (FOX vs FOXA), and 13F/13G/13D parsing rules; that produces modest discrepancies in rankings and percentages [1] [6] [7] [8] [9]. For a definitive, timestamped list you must consult SEC filings or Fox’s own proxy statements referenced on the company investor site [4].

5. What’s often described as “individual shareholders” in these sources

Many “largest shareholders” lists are dominated by institutions and funds; the term “individual” in retail summaries typically points to insiders like Lachlan Murdoch or family trusts rather than ordinary retail holders [1] [2] [3]. Available reporting distinguishes institutional ownership percentages from insider ownership but does not provide a single ranked table of all individual (non‑institutional) holders across all share classes in one place [1] [3].

6. Where to look for authoritative, up‑to‑date confirmation

For the most authoritative and current statements about largest individual shareholders, consult Fox Corporation’s SEC filings (Form 4 for insider trades, Schedule 13D/G for large block holders) and the company’s proxy/notice of meeting documents available on its investor relations site; these primary documents will show exact holdings, dates and ownership class distinctions [4]. Public aggregator sites are useful for quick snapshots but can differ by filing cut‑offs and interpretation [1] [6].

Limitations and competing perspectives

The sources used here are secondary aggregators (financial websites and ownership trackers) and the company IR page; they consistently point to institutional holders and to Lachlan Murdoch as the largest individual insider, but they do not converge on a single, current numeric ranking of all individual shareholders in one consolidated table [1] [2] [3] [4]. Available sources do not mention any exhaustive list of non‑Murdoch individual shareholders beyond standard institutional and insider summaries [1] [2].

Bottom line — short answer

If you mean “largest institutional shareholders,” Vanguard, State Street and BlackRock top the lists [1]. If you mean the largest named individual (insider/family) owner, Lachlan Murdoch is identified by multiple trackers as Fox’s largest individual shareholder [2] [3]. For legal, timestamped ownership figures consult Fox’s SEC and proxy filings linked on the company’s investor relations site [4].
