Media Tycoon Marries for the Fifth Time at Age 93

American media mogul Robert Murdoch got married for the fifth time at the age of 93. According to reports from his media company "News Corp" published on Sunday, Murdoch, who has Australian roots, married Elena Zhukova, a 67-year-old retired molecular biologist of Russian descent, on Saturday at a ceremony held at his vineyard in Bel Air, California. Murdoch and his bride announced their engagement last March, with his last marriage being to model and actress Jerry Hall in 2016, with their divorce finalized in 2022. Zhukova is the ex-wife of Alexander Zhukov, a billionaire Russian politician involved in the energy sector. Last fall, Murdoch stepped down as chairman of the parent company of the Fox News Network and his media assets at News Corp, handing over his position to his sons in a media empire spanning continents that has helped shape modern American politics. In 1952, Murdoch inherited a newspaper in his hometown of Australia from his father, and over decades he established a widely recognized news and entertainment organization in the United States and Britain, owning prominent newspapers like The Times of London and The Wall Street Journal. In 1996, Fox News Channel was founded, owned by Murdoch, which operates 24 hours a day and has deeply influenced television, becoming a widely consumed news source among many conservative audiences and politicians in the United States.
