He had two elder sisters, Júlia Franciska Mária and Katalin.[3] His father was killed in the Second World War on 26 October 1944.

Nádasdy visited Hungary for the first time in 1969. After the end of Communism in Hungary, he returned to his homeland and settled down in Nádasdladány, a former estate of his family. He founded the Nádasdy Foundation in 1991, the aim of which was the cultural preservation of the Nádasdy heritage. He initiated the restoration of the Nádasdy Mansion in 1993.

Nádasdy died after a long illness on 15 January 2013. According to the foundation and the Magyar Távirati Iroda (MTI), he was the last male member of the House of Nádasdy; therefore, the family became extinct after seven centuries.
