Rupert Murdoch Net Worth: Controversial News Corp Chairman Reportedly Dating Mick Jagger’s Ex, Jerry Hall, 25 Years His Junior

One of the richest people in the world after gaining his fortune in media, Rupert Murdoch's net worth extends much further than a few billion dollars, even after massive scandals such as the 2011 hacking the phones of multiple celebrities - and he even faces charges for bribing British government and FBI investigations.

Despite of all that, as Rupert Murdoch's net worth would attest, the 84 year-old businessman has made a wildly prosperous career in the media business, having occupied posts such as chairman and CEO of News Corporation and chairman and CEO of 21st Century Fox, as well as currently serving as executive chairman of News Corp and executive co-chairman of 21st Century Fox.

These days, however, it's not exactly Rupert Murdoch's net worth making headlines but rather his involvement with a major pop culture figure, after news outlets such as The Daily Mail and Vanity Fair are reporting that he may be dating a rock star's ex.

Former model Jerry Hall is best known in the world for having been in a longterm relationship with The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger but now, over 16 year after her split from the rock star, rumor has it she's now dating Murdoch, who at 84 is 25 years her senior, as Hall is 59 years of age.

Hall is worth about $15 million herself according to The Richest, but without a doubt Rupert Murdoch's net worth is the higher one in their relationship, as the Melbourne-born businessman is considered among the 50 richest men in the world due to his massive global news empire.

According to Newsmax, Murdoch and Hall are set to reveal their relationship officially to the world next week, as it's rumored they'll be attending the Rugby World Cup final between New Zealand and Australia in Twickenham.

Between Rupert Murdoch's net worth and his global influence on media, Forbes calls him "arguably the world's most powerful media tycoon."

Celebrity Net Worth lists Rupert Murdoch's net worth at $13 billion, seemingly rounding up from Forbes' numbers, as in the magazine's website he's listed as having $12.7 billion to his name.
