93-Year Old Media Tycoon Marries for 5th Time
Rupert Murdoch opted for a black suit and trainers, while Elena Zhukova, 67, looked gorgeous in an ankle-length, off-the-shoulder white dress supposedly made by Emilia Wickstead. Elena Zhukova was spotted holding a bouquet of white flowers.
According to reports, Robert Thomson, CEO of news Corp., and Robert K. Kraft, owner of the New england Patriots, were guests. According to accounts, the couple's romance started with Wendi Deng, Rupert Murdoch's third wife. Elena Zhukova is a retired molecular biologist who was previously married to billionaire energy investor Alexander Zhukov.
His turbulent personal life frequently provides material for the tabloid newspaper business, which he helped establish over three continents.
Less than a month after announcing his engagement to Ann Lesley Smith, a radio broadcaster and former dental hygienist turned conservative, Murdoch called off the wedding.
Zhukova is a retired molecular scientist who immigrated to the US from Russia.
Her daughter, businesswoman and patroness of the arts Dasha Zhukova, was formerly wed to Russian millionaire Roman Abramovich.
