Rupert Murdoch marries for fifth time aged 93

Rupert Murdoch has married for the fifth time at the age of 93.

my opinion: I think that men of his generation just think that if a man is with a woman, he should just get married, regardless of the divorce pain that almost inevitably follows - from an age when the Blue Pill was considered to be normative.

 

[Redwood]

You sorta answered your own question.

 

[BackInTheGame78]

Because like most old people, their biggest fear is they die alone.

 

[pipeman84]

He's 93.

He was 68 when he married that obvious gold digger Wendi Deng. So it's not like he's lost his mind due to advanced age.
Why do rich guys who could have all the sex with all the girls they want, go through this charade of marrying gold diggers? That's one thing I don't get. It's not like they don't know what's really going on, they're shrewd businessmen after all.

Because it's a stigma from that generation to be their age and not be married.

Things may change but when you grew up with that mindset it rarely does.

Just like why so many old people down South are racist even tho times have changed. The way they were brought up was how they were brought up and that mindset doesn't change no matter what society says later.

Guys in the 1% have the luxury of blowing away that sort of cash on floozies. The rest of us have to be a hell of a lot more cagey

Hi Pipeman,
"Why do rich guys who could have all the sex with all the girls they want, go through this charade of marrying gold diggers?".....He Socialises and needs a presentable Woman as affirmation....Few Women are good in the sack,most just lie there like a sack of Spuds....To be an effective "Gold Digger"takes a lot more than just a pretty face,most of these Ladies appreciate this,they have learnt it is for them to make the effort,not just lie there and think of England....And so two Birds are killed with one stone!

Rupert Murdoch is 93 years old. He was born in 1931. His 1931 birthday would have made him older than some of the fictional Mad Men characters.

A 1931 birth year places him in the Silent Generation.

The Silent Generation was an interesting generation because some of its youngest adults were part of the Sexual Revolution of the 1960s. In the early 1960s, most of the Baby Boomers were still too young to be meaningfully affecting the sexual marketplace. A lot of later Silents (birth years 1940-1945) were attendees at Woodstock in 1969. The earliest divorcees of the no fault divorce era (1970-1976) were Silents as a lot of Boomers were either too young to be married in the early to mid 1970s or were in the earliest stages of their marriages and not yet dissatisfied enough to be divorced.

Not only is Rupert Murdoch a Silent Generation member, he's also earlier in that generation. Someone born in the late 1920s or early 1930s was more likely to believe in traditional marriage. Also, a blue pill ideology towards romantic relationships was more based in reality in the late 1940s - mid 1960s era. When Murdoch was a young adult, marriages were more likely to have worked out longer term than in later times.

Murdoch's first marriage lasted from 1956-1967. In the context of that time, that wasn't impressive. In more recent decades, an 11 year marriage ending in divorce is somewhat par for the course and actually a somewhat lengthy marriage. A typical marriage ending in divorce now is around 5-13 years. An 11 year first marriage ending in divorce is perceived much differently now.

His second marriage lasted slightly over 30 years. A 30 year marriage would be considered very successful if it ended with someone dying and was long enough for that outcome to be more realistic. One might think that divorcing at age 68 after a ~30 year marriage and a ~10 year marriage would have given someone lifetime exposure to marriage. Since age 68, Murdoch has now been married 3 times and also had one failed engagement.

I did not understand Murdoch marrying a past her prime Jerry Hall. Jerry Hall's best years were spent with Mick Jagger, as she was with him from her early 20s to early 40s and had 4 kids with him. Hall and Jagger never married. Marrying a nearly 60 year old Hall with 4 adult children isn't impressive for a billionaire.

Why people assume that being great making money leads you to being great with women is something I'll never understand.

It allows you to BUY good looking women who are with you for money, but that doesn't change the way you view yourself in terms of ability with women and how you interact with and maintain those relationships.

In fact, you'll find that most people who are great making money are single mindedly focused on that to the detrement of many other things in their lives, women being only one of those things.

A grown a/s man doing what he wants… open the flood gates of judgement lol

 

[machoMax]

You sorta answered your own question.

Exactly

 

[taiyuu_otoko]

Guys in the 1% have the luxury of blowing away that sort of cash on floozies.

That's the answer.

He's so rich that getting married and paying sh*ttons for divorce is like an average guy having a one night stand.

He does that because he wants to and he can.

 

[Redwood]

A grown a/s man doing what he wants… open the flood gates of judgement lol

Yeah, but this is him basically putting his hand to the fire and asking why he keeps getting burned.

 

[The Duke]

Yeah, but this is him basically putting his hand to the fire and asking why he keeps getting burned.

How is he getting burned?

 

[Redwood]

How is he getting burned?

Repeated marriages and divorces. He's neck and neck with Ric Flair.

I doubt it makes a dent in him financially. Wealthy people go to great measures to shield assets. You can bet there is a team of estate lawyers, tax lawyers, accountants, and financial advisors. They also have investments that generate enough interest income to live off of. According to various stats he is worth $20billion. Each wife has received a $1.5B-$2B divorce settlement. Thats less than 10%. Thats not a big financial risk for a guy on that level. He will never be able to spend anywhere close to $20B. When you learn that wealth accumulates exponentially you will understand. Eventually the accumulating out paces the spending at a far greater rate. Thats the key. Don't look at this thru average middle class eyes.

The mental side of divorce, perhaps. But he has done this 5 times. He obviously knows the drill and continues to do it. Perhaps he sees multiple marriages as the spice of life?

I guess I don't see your point. I don't see how he is getting burned. The money isn't an issue, and neither is the risk of losing another wife.

The man has built very successful corporations. He has seen risk 10 times heavier than marrying 5 women and giving them a payout when they leave.

Please expand upon your point.

I see it as taking a toll mentally and somewhat financially. Maybe it's the generational gap here, but I don't see the upside to remarrying constantly. Surely with as long as he's been living he knows an alternative, eh?

 

[Jor-El]

As long as there are rich men trying not to feel old, there will be young girls trying not to feel poor

 

[BeExcellent]

Who cares? I concur strongly with @The Duke in this. His lawyers will have him covered financially nine ways to Sunday and the new wife will have signed a bulletproof prenump although he needs it less than average Joe.

Why?

No woman has enough money to fight over anything marital with him legally. And they would go broke trying if they were dumb enough to try, which they are not.

A multibillionaire still won't live forever. Some of y'all cannot BEGIN to conceptualize the tremendous amount of money he has, and the tremendous lack of time at 93. It's a cruel joke in a way and that surely is not lost on him.
