Jerry Hall divorcing Rupert Murdoch

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/22/business/media/rupert-murdoch-divorce-jerry-hall.html

"The media mogul’s fourth divorce is unlikely to change the ownership structure of Mr. Murdoch’s empire, but it could reverberate through companies such as Fox News and The Wall Street Journal".

"Rupert Murdoch, the media titan, and Jerry Hall, the model and actress, are getting divorced, according to two people with knowledge of the decision. The people would speak only anonymously to discuss a personal matter."

"Mr. Murdoch’s divorce, his fourth, is unlikely to alter the ownership structure of businesses he holds stakes in, which include parent companies of Fox News and The Wall Street Journal. The Murdoch family’s shares in the companies Mr. Murdoch founded reside in a strictly managed trust. Mr. Murdoch splits voting rights over that trust with his four oldest children — Lachlan, Elisabeth, James and Prudence — and has arranged them so that he can never be outvoted."

It couldn't be for the money since she is already rich from her marriage to Jagger. Is she blind?

you don't "need" any more money. I guess she is super greedy and has no self respect.
