In the admittedly unlikely event of Rupert Murdoch — the billionaire media owner and one of the world’s most powerful people — ever resorting to placing a lonely-hearts advert, what would he say he was looking for in a woman?
So far, his marriages have run, in date order: model, journalist, media executive and model.
His most recent wife, Jerry Hall, dumped by email, was hugely sociable and well-connected. Her predecessor Wendi Deng brimming with acumen. Before her came Anna Torv, the mother of three of his six children, who was said to be his moral compass, and his first wife, Patricia Booker, was a young model whom he married when he was only 25.
But now, with 91-year-old Murdoch having only finalised his fourth divorce in August, comes another striking match.
