Later, when Homer, Wally Kogen and other residents of Springfield at the Super Bowl, found his executive box and he came and sent them out, introducing himself as the "billionaire tyrant".[2]

He appears at a phone-in pledge drive for FOX and receives Bart's pledge of $10,000 which he states has "saved my network".[3]

He attended Billionaire Camp and his name was seen above a cabin with his net worth of $6,843,104,527. He then ran out of his cabin laughing and spray-painted an extra 7 at the front of his net worth.[4]

When Moe was banned from putting Fox on in his bar, business became better. Rupert Murdoch was one of the people who came into his bar as a result. When Moe asked Murdoch how he was doing, Murodch told him to put Jay Leno on.[5]
