Media Billionaires: Zuckerberg vs. Murdoch (Infographic)

Mark Zuckerberg vs. Rupert Murdoch is new media versus old media, so check out this infographic to see more media billionaires.

Media Billionaires: Mark Zuckerberg vs Rupert Murdoch (Infographic)

We all know that new media is growing at a much faster pace than old media businesses.

I thought it would be interesting to see just how this is affecting the media and technology billionaires.

Mark Zuckerberg versus Rupert Murdoch – The Infographic

How much faster did these new media billionaires make their money? See this infographic by Staff.com:

Larry Page and Sergey Brin from Google are not doing bad either.

How about Reid Hoffman? He’s doing pretty okay in the billionaire list.

My Opinion?
There will be more digital forces that will disrupt old business models.

We have seen in it the travel industry with i.e. Booking.com or Airbnb.

In the fashion industry with Zalando.

Disruption ain’t over yet, it has just started. We will see more surprising “outsiders” disrupting the marketplace.

I am convinced that even more media-companies will be masquerading as technology companies in the near future.

What About You?
In what segments do you expect disruptive forces? Who are the outsiders we should all be watching from? Our readers would love to read your opinion.
