Rupert Murdoch, the 8th richest media mogul in the world, has married for the fifth time, this time to retired molecular biologist Elena Zhukova. The 93-year-old billionaire exchanged vows with 67-year-old Zhukova on Sunday at his Moraga vineyard in California.
Murdoch started dating Zhukova slightly over a year ago, just four months after he ended his two-week-long engagement to Ann Lesley Smith, a 67-year-old conservative radio host. The newlyweds met at a large family gathering hosted by the billionaire’s third ex-wife, Wendi Deng, to whom he was married for 14 years before their divorce in 2013.
The billionaire divorced his fourth wife, 67-year-old actress and model Jerry Hall, in 2022. His other divorced wives include Patricia Booker (1956–1965) and Anna Torv (1967–1999). He has six children: Prudence, Elisabeth, Grace, Chloe, Lachlan, and James.
PS: Murdoch has built a media empire that includes cable channel Fox News, The Times of London, and The Wall Street Journal.
