8-3-2024 (NEW YORK) Media mogul Rupert Murdoch has decided to embark on a new chapter in his personal life, even as he steps away from the reins of his business empire. At the ripe age of 92, the billionaire has announced his intention to tie the knot with his girlfriend, Elena Zhukova, a retired molecular biologist aged 67.
The news comes hot on the heels of Murdoch’s decision to relinquish his role as chairman of Fox Corporation, the entertainment juggernaut he built over decades of relentless entrepreneurship. While some might view this move as a departure from the limelight, it appears that Murdoch’s personal life is poised to take centre stage once again.
According to a statement released by Murdoch’s office on Thursday, the couple plans to exchange vows in June, culminating a whirlwind romance that blossomed last summer.
