Rupert Murdoch marries Elena Zukova in intimate vineyard ceremony

Rupert Murdoch is an Australian-American mogul of a press, television, and publishing corporation - News Corporation. At 93, he boasts his presence on the list of the richest people in the world, with a fortune estimated at $9 billion.

Rupert Murdoch is ambitious not only when it comes to multiplying his wealth. The billionaire also has a very rich love life. Despite his mature age, the businessman does not cease searching for 'the one'. In March, just a year after breaking off his engagement with Ann Lesley Smith, he proposed to Elena Zukova, a 67-year-old retired molecular biologist from Russia.

The lovebirds took a step further and are now married. The wedding ceremony took place on Saturday at the billionaire’s vineyard in Bel Air, California. A photo of the newlyweds was published, among other places, on the Instagram profile of Tatler magazine. Rupert is seen dressed in a suit and sneakers, and Elena in a milky dress and matching heels.

This is Murdoch's fifth marriage. He married Patricia Booker in 1956, Anne Tõrv in 1967, Wendi Deng in 1999, and Jerry Hall - the former wife of Mick Jagger - in 2016. With his wives, the billionaire has had a total of six children. Zukova, on the other hand, is the ex-wife of Alexander Zukov - an oil tycoon and former KGB agent. The ex-spouses have a daughter named Darya. The 42-year-old is a former model, philanthropist, and businesswoman who, interestingly, Wendi Deng (Murdoch's ex-wife), invests in the online service Artsy. Additionally, she runs the gossip portal Spletnik.ru and, together with Christina Tang, has the clothing company Kova & T. Until 2017, she was the wife of Roman Abramovich, with whom she has two children. She is married to Stavros Niarchos, with whom she has a son.
