Well, she is going to be a billionaire with the settlement and their daughter becomes a millionaire. A pretty good deal for 14 years of 'work'.


With Rupert Murdoch's pre-nuptial agreement, she'll be very lucky to walk away with $50m - $100m.
 
If I were Wendi I would ask for all his fortune plus more.

If I were Rupert I would hide my money where it cant be found
 
Some men just will not learn. :rolleyes:

Wendi Deng holds something more valuable than any pre/post nuptial agreement. She knows Murdoch's business empire intimately and all his dirty little secrets and don't forget she bore him two daughters.
The News Corporation legal teams are probably already negotiating with her how much money it will take to keep her mouth shut.

Either way, this is gonna be expensive lesson for Murdoch.

And in the fashion that Rupert does things – peremptorily, wrathfully, implacably – it would seem to leave Wendi far out in the cold. There is her 1999 pre-nup, and, to boot, two post-nups. What's more, it is a fearsome thing when News Corp and the Murdoch family close their ranks against you. Indeed, it is not that easy to hire a law firm not conflicted out by its work for News Corp, or the promise of work. Her PR aide, Steven Rubenstein, is on Rupert's payroll – so his help disappears.

Except, of course, that Wendi knows all Murdoch's secrets. All of them.

When they quit their loft apartment in New York's bohemian SoHo for the conservative Upper East Side in 2005, it was a wrench for Wendi Deng but a return home for Rupert Murdoch.

In a rare interview designed to help sell the SoHo property, the differences, perhaps caused by their 38-year age difference, were there to see. At 36, Deng loved the vibrant and arty atmosphere of lower Manhattan and talked of all the friends her daughters had made. "I love downtown. It is casual and my children have all kinds of friends here," she told the New York Times.

Murdoch, on the other hand, said he definitely had no interest in holding on the apartment and was keen to move to the $44m penthouse triplex once home to billionaire Laurance Rockefeller overlooking Central Park. The SoHo apartment sold for less than the asking price at $25m in 2005, more than tripling the $7.4m purchase price.

Murdoch lived in the same Upper East Side block when married to his second wife, Anna Torv, and had his eye on the trophy triplex for decades. "It was your American dream," said Deng, as Rupert explained how he had once told Rockefeller he would buy the Fifth Avenue apartment if he could ever afford it.

It is one of seven residences around the world that Murdoch is thought to own, which are now expected to feature in the settlement after the News Corporation founder filed for divorce on Thursday.

Fifth Avenue, New York

This majestic 20-room top-floor apartment at 834 Fifth Avenue boasts 4,000 sq ft of space over three floors, each with its own terrace overlooking Central Park zoo. Described as the "most pedigreed building on the snobbiest street in the more real-estate-obsessed city" in the world, Deng reportedly spent £5m refurbishing the home and creating a £300,000 gym. When Murdoch bought it in 2005, the $44m he paid made it the most expensive apartment in New York, although this has since been eclipsed.

Moraga Vineyard, Los Angeles

This 16-acre estate in the Moraga Canyon in upscale Bel Air, California, once played host to Hollywood stars including Clark Gable, Vivian Leigh and Spencer Tracy.

Murdoch bought the house in May 2013 after spotting an advert in his Wall Street Journal for the property advertised at $29.5m. "About to celebrate buying beautiful small vineyard right in LA. Great wine, Moraga, owned by great Angelino Tom Jones. Time cover, 1961!", he tweeted in May.

Rosehearty, Oyster Bay, New York State

Bought in 2003, this £10m beachside home is a jewel on the Centre Island shoreline. It was sometimes rented out, but not just to anybody. Angelina Jolie took it for $100,000 a month during the filming of Salt. The house boasts 11 bedrooms and seven bathrooms, plus a 50-foot pool, large garage, tennis court and a 950-square-foot guest house on the 4.6-acre grounds. It was on the market for $14.8m in September 2011, but it is not known if it was actually sold.

Beverly Hills, Los Angeles

This 11-bed and nine-bathroom semi-circular villa in Beverly Hills is on an 8,700 sq ft plot tucked away in the hills, far from prying eyes.

Mayfair, London

This luxury apartment in St James, Mayfair, central London, was remodelled by Deng in a modern Chinese minimalist style. Murdoch has frequently assembled some of London's elite at the flat, with dinner guests in the past year including George Osborne, Boris Johnson and homeland actor Damian Lewis.

Cruden Farm, Victoria

The 54-hectare Murdoch family estate in Langwarrin south of Melbourne, Australia, features magnificent gardens complete with ponds, lemon-scented gum trees and two walled gardens and perennial borders. Given to Murdoch's mother as a wedding present by Keith Murdoch in 1928, this is likely to have been left to the media mogul and his surviving siblings when his 103-year-old mother Elisabeth died in December.

Cavan, Australia


Cavan, is a large farm, or grazier, in Yass in Australia and was one of the first of a number of luxurious residences Murdoch would establish in his 70-year career. Like Cruden, has magnificent gardens which are sometimes open to the public.

Beijing

In 2004, the couple reportedly paid $5m for a siheyuan, a rare traditional courtyard-style building on the fringes of the Chinese capital's Forbidden City.
