Right-wing media mogul Rupert Murdoch tied the knot for the fifth time on Saturday, as reported by the British tabloid newspaper The Sun.
The Sun, owned by Murdoch, released photos of the 93-year-old Australian billionaire alongside his 67-year-old wife, retired molecular biologist Elena Zhukova, at his vineyard in Bel-Air, California, where the ceremony took place.
Zhukova is the mother of Russian American art collector Dasha Zhukova, the former wife of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich.
Murdoch led Fox Corporation and News Corp for decades, overseeing outlets like The Wall Street Journal, The New York Fox News.
With a net worth of $9.77 billion according to Bloomberg’s Billionaire Index, Murdoch announced in November 2023 that he would step down as chairman of both organizations, passing the reins to his son Lachlan. However, he continues to play an “active role” in News Corp and serves as chairman emeritus of the two companies.
He began dating Zhukova last summer, according to The New York Times, and the couple announced their engagement in March.
Murdoch was most recently married to former supermodel Jerry Hall, with their marriage ending in divorce in 2022.
In March 2023, Murdoch proposed to Ann Lesley Smith, but the engagement was called off two weeks later.
