Rupert Murdoch's son Lachlan has just bought the former French consulate in Sydney's eastern suburbs for $23 million Australian dollars, or roughly $21 million US dollars. He is reported to have outbid Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman for the property.

The 4,097 square-meter grand Georgian estate, situated at 93 Victoria Road in Bellevue Hill, is called Le Manoir and boasts "6 bedrooms, self-contained quarters, 2 studies, 5 bathrooms, guest powder room, versatile living and sitting rooms, stunning reception hall, 3 car garage, drive-way forecourt, multiple store rooms, fireplaces, polished timber floors, large internal laundry and commercial size kitchen."

The real estate listing also describes the lavish setting:

Secluded at the end of a private drive-way, the home is surrounded by sprawling North East gardens, sunny terraces, tennis court and a swimming pool. Superb Georgian architecture and 3.6 metre ceilings exude grandeur and elegance, while also offering an abundance of space for family living and entertaining on a lavish scale.

Lachlan Murdoch and his model/actress wife Sarah have two young boys and are expecting a third child.

How nice. But it really does not reflect on the pro American theme Fox News has going on. Rupert Murdoch and his family do not even like America- they use our nation as cash cow. Wingnuts like to spew nonsense about the enemy within America- maybe they need to check who the heck they are putting their faith in for the so called "truth".

All that money and no Harbour view

Hmmm. 21 million? Frankly, the interior looks like my grandmother's home and it's 120 years old. It certainly isn't worth anywhere NEAR that and my granny wasn't a wealthy woman.

It could be nice if he fixed it up a little....­. Or a lot. Kind of a dump though.

It's good to see what two decades of lies, propaganda, and treason at Fox News can get you these days...

Meh. It's nice but, $21 million nice? I don't think so. Looks like it needs some renovation, too.

Really? I'd pay 5 million tops for that place; there are neighboring houses all around. Oh, yeah...and it in AUSTRAILIA!

And "nepotism"­... (Isn't this kid the same brat who bleated about BBC News being a danger to the industry or something equally lamentable? Then again, most things coming from FOX and its owners are quite lamentable­... vapid too...)

I don't think they're jealous. I do think that the next time a conservative rips on the "liberal elite" you may wanna remember the Murdoch dynasty...
