About Rupert Murdoch

Ladies and Gentlemen, let’s talk about the ever tantalising machinations of the love life – specifically, mogul Rupert Murdoch, and the heavyweight sums we’re dealing with when it comes to unwedded bliss for this “Men-of-the-News-Corp-World". Love is undoubtably a beautiful thing and it sure does make the world go ‘round, but what you may not be realising is just how costly it can be to your bank account… that is, if you're a billion-dollar magnate and entrepreneur like Murdoch.

So, where has cupid struck (or missed the mark, shall we say!) for Murdoch? Of all his romantic tussles, one may draw attention to the highlight of it all - his monumental partition with Anna Torv. Totting up not merely to left-swipe on tinder but becoming a significant blip in the historical timeline of world's costliest divorce settlements is their grand total of a staggering $1.7 billion – Forbes' calculators are reeling at the very thought! Poor Rupert, imagine approaching the settlement table saying "I now pronounce you substantially less rich.”

Let’s raise a glass though, not in somber mood but with a smirk of parable about the price tag attached to love and loss for the rich and famous. Oh, the things the filthy rich could do with just a pretty penny of that hefty sum! Shush, did anyone hear an ‘ouch’ in a distant Australian tone? Though pondering upon situations, looks like "love is not only blind, but neither is it easy to sneeze at without costing a fortune" for some noteworthy players. So, just imagine - wearing his crisp suit after a tedious game of financial tug-of-war, as he reassumed his place in high society while cutting £1.7 billion less of a dash, Rupert Murdoch must really really move on, only to get married… Twice!
