93-Year Old Media Tycoon Marries for 5th Time

SIBY JEYYA
The New York Times revealed that media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, who stepped down from the boards of Fox and news Corporation last year, wed Elena Zhukova for the sixth time at his Moraga wine home in Bel Air, Los Angeles.
 
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.
 

Murdoch had been married four times before, the most recent to Rolling Stones leader Mick Jagger's long-term companion, model Jerry Hall.
 
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.
