Murdoch to marry, again
March 8, 2024
Rupert Murdoch is engaged for the sixth time, this time to Elena Zhukova, a retired scientist. Murdoch’s office announced that the 92-year-old is set to marry the 67-year-old retired molecular biologist, reports NYT.
Last April, news reports emerged of Murdoch dating Zhukova just four months after he ended his two-week-long engagement to Ann Lesley Smith, a conservative radio host.
Invitations for Murdoch’s wedding, which will be held at Moraga, his California vineyard and estate, have already been sent out, reports the paper.
Murdoch met Zhukova at a gathering hosted by his ex-wife, Wendi Deng, whom he divorced in 2013.
Zhukova’s daughter, Dasha, was previously married to Roman Abramovich. Murdoch has a net worth of $8.96 billion, according to Bloomberg.
