Media Mogul Rupert Murdoch Ties the Knot for the Fifth Time
93-Year-Old Billionaire Weds Retired Russian Biologist
Romantic Ceremony Held at Murdoch's Californian Vineyard
In a surprising twist, media mogul Rupert Murdoch has wed for the fifth time. The 93-year-old tycoon exchanged vows with Elena Zhukova, a 67-year-old retired Russian biologist, on June 1, 2024, at his Californian vineyard estate in Bel Air.
The ceremony was a private affair, attended by close friends and family. Murdoch and Zhukova had been dating for several months before their nuptials. Murdoch, who is the chairman of Fox and News Corp, has four previous marriages behind him. His first wife was Patricia Booker, whom he divorced in 1966. He then married Anna Torv in 1967, and their divorce was finalized in 1999. In 1999, he married Wendi Deng, and they divorced in 2013. In 2016, he married Jerry Hall, and they divorced in 2022.
Murdoch's wedding to Zhukova has sparked a lot of interest and speculation. Some have questioned the age difference between the couple, while others have wondered what attracted Murdoch to Zhukova. According to sources close to the couple, Murdoch was drawn to Zhukova's intelligence and sense of humor. Zhukova is also said to be a very private person, which Murdoch appreciates.
The couple is currently enjoying their honeymoon in Europe. They are expected to return to the United States later this month.
