Media titan Rupert Murdoch has filed for divorce from his wife of 14 years, Wendi Deng.

The 82-year-old billionaire and CEO of News Corp. filed a one-page document in New York State Supreme Court indicating the start of the divorce Thursday morning.

"The relationship between the husband and wife has broken down irretrievably," sealed court documents claim, according to a Murdoch spokesman.

A source familiar with the case said the couple had a prenuptial agreement and that the split would have no effect on the management or ownership of the company.

The soon-to-be former Mrs Murdoch is reputed to be a real "rhymes with witch", based on interviews with the hired help. Can't say I'm surprised Murdoch is dumping her.

I heard that Ms Deng has a child from a previous marriage named Gol.

A 38-year age gap separates the 44-year old Deng Murdoch from her soon-to-be former husband. The couple have two daughters, Grace and Chloe.

I don’t even see him in that video clip, but the lady in pink gets a good one off at the pie thrower. The poor girl in gray suit, in between, takes a fall, though.

I hope when I’m an old man that I’m rich enough to afford drama.

Murdoch may also think he's about to croak, and wants to avoid a battle over the estate. Widows generally get a better hearing than divorcees. If Deng can drag this out until the guy croaks, she might end up getting a share of his media empire.

Oh believe me, she has to be.

Gotta overpower others for your own shortcomings to validate your existence by crossing others boundaries and upon successfully doing and getting feedback as proof of her skirmish relevancy is attained .

Probably few things to offer a man and probably chose Rupert out of avarice .

Cant be for his looks.

“I remember reading somewhere that she has ties to the Chicoms”

She’s a US citizen. Her background in China is non-aristocratic (i.e. no Party lineage), so her only Chinese connections are whatever Murdoch managed to buy with his billions:

You’ll also be rich enough to make it go away.
