He is 92, she is 67. Media mogul Rupert Murdoch marries Abramovich's former mother-in-law

American media mogul Rupert Murdoch, founder of the News Corporation and 21st Century Fox holdings, is preparing to marry Elena Zhukova, the former mother-in-law of Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich. This will be his fifth marriage in 93 years of life.

The 67-year-old chosen one of the richest men in the world has already answered him "yes." The New York Times reports this with reference to people close to the couple. Preparations for the ceremony are currently underway.

A representative of Rupert Murdoch confirmed to reporters that wedding invitations have already been sent out. According to him, the celebration is to take place in a California vineyard in June this year.

As previously reported in the media, he has been dating Elena Zhukova since last summer. They met through Murdoch's third wife, Wendy Deng, at a party.

The news of the wedding came six months after the media mogul decided to end his career and hand over the management of his corporations to his children. In recent years, he has been spending more and more time on romance.

It was reported that in the summer of 2022, the billionaire broke up with model and Mick Jagger's ex-wife Jerry Hall, and in the spring of 2023, he got engaged to Ann Leslie Smith, a retired dentist who had built a career. He broke off his latest engagement about two weeks later.

The 92-year-old entrepreneur has six children. The oldest of them is 67 years old, the youngest is only 20.

Elena Zhukova, a molecular biologist and diabetes specialist, has long lived in the United States. She emigrated from Russia in 1991 after the collapse of the USSR. In her first marriage to Alexander Zhukov in 1981, the Russian woman gave birth to a daughter, Daria, the future wife of billionaire Roman Abramovich and mother of his two children. They announced their divorce in 2017.
