Cost of Divorce: $1.7 Billion
Usually a man behind the scenes, media mogul Rupert Murdoch made headlines in 1998 when he and his second wife, Anna Murdoch (now Anna Mann), divorced after 32 years of marriage. Though it happened nearly 20 years ago, Rupert Murdoch’s divorce is still one of the costliest in history. According to Time Money, Murdoch paid Mann a whopping $1.7 billion, mostly in News Corp stock.
Just days after his divorce with Mann was finalized, Murdoch married producer Wendi Deng. This marriage included a prenuptial agreement, which proved useful for Murdoch 14 years later when he filed for divorce from Deng.
Murdoch is now on his third marriage to Jerry Hall, a former model who has four children with Mick Jagger. It’s unknown whether Hall signed a prenuptial agreement, but you don’t have to be a divorce attorney to know that prenups are a smart move when there’s this much wealth at stake. Rupert Murdoch’s net worth is $12.9 billion as of July 28, 2017, according to Forbes.
