Rupert Murdoch to marry for fifth time at 92

[Sarzy]

The billionaire mogul Rupert Murdoch, whose conservative media empire spans the globe, is engaged to marry for the fifth time, he told an interviewer in his own tabloid newspaper, the New York Post.

“I was very nervous. I dreaded falling in love – but I knew this would be my last. It better be. I’m happy,” Murdoch, 92, said of his new fiancee, Ann Lesley Smith, 66, whose late husband was Chester Smith, a country singer as well as radio and TV executive.


The pair intend to get married in the summer. “We’re both looking forward to spending the second half of our lives together,” Murdoch said.

The summer wedding will mark the fifth time that the media titan – whose business empire includes the currently scandal hit Fox News in the US and the powerful rightwing tabloid the Sun in the United Kingdom – has tied the knot.

Murdoch has six children from his first three marriages. Prudence MacLeod, with his first wife Patricia Booker, then Elisabeth and sons Lachlan and James with his second wife Anna Mann. He has two more daughters – Grace and Chloe – with his third wife Wendi Deng. Murdoch’s fourth wife was the former supermodel Jerry Hall, from whom he split last year.

Smith told the New York Post: “I’m a widow 14 years. Like Rupert, my husband was a businessman. Worked for local papers, developed radio and TV stations and helped promote Univision. So I speak Rupert’s language. We share the same beliefs.”

“For us both it’s a gift from God” Smith added.

Huh, so he expects to live to 184, and she to 132? Good luck with that. 🍀

I don't think I'd want to spend the next 90 years continuing to look like a melted candle! 

[loftybike]

So he left Jerry Hall for this one? At 92? To spend the second half of his life with her?
I find out here myself. WTF!

[coppercatseye]

It had better not be the second half of his life! Fucker needs to be in the home stretch.

I hope he lives long enough to see Fox News lose BIG time in the lawsuit against Dominion Voting Systems. And then see Trump, whom they've propped up for years, lose in all his lawsuits.

^^^^
the dominion lawsuit is heading to court this week so i think the timing of the announcement has more to do with that than anything else. and knowing this shady fucker it's possible they're already married and this is some kind of trick to transfer assets to her or something. and she probably sees it as an investment in her retirement though it's not like she needs the cash anyway, i think this is her second billionaire old fuck.

I don't think there's enough cash for me to bed that wretched old Shar-pei ballsack.

I think that hers is marrying rich men for short periods of time before they die ... This is hubby #3

That's a really bad nose job. Jerry is definitely prettier.

Speaking of Jerry, I still wonder why he divorced her so abruptly. But I read she walked away with $200m and 2 homes. I'd say that's not bad for 6 years but only if she didn't have to fuck him.

[sputnik]

who are we kidding? for that much money, we'd all fuck him and i don't believe anyone who says otherwise. 

[no]

I'd rather stay poor the rest of my life
