Rupert Murdoch, Wendi Deng: Most Expensive Divorces Ever

The 17 Most Expensive Divorces Ever

News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch filed for divorce from Wendi Deng on Thursday.

There’s no word on what the split could cost Murdoch, but the media mogul already has a history of costly divorce settlements.

Murdoch separated from former wife Anna Torv in 1999, paying a reported $1.7 billion (including $110 million in cash), making it the most expensive divorce of all time.

The pair had been married for 32 years. Murdoch married 30-year-old Deng just 17 days later.

Murdoch, now 82 years old, is worth $11.2 billion, according to Forbes.
