59-year-old Jerry has never married but was in a relationship with Rolling Stones legend Mick Jagger for 22 years from 1977 to 1999.

They had four children together – Elizabeth Scarlett, James Leroy, Georgia May and Gabriel Luke before the marriage ended due to Jagger’s alleged infidelity.

84-year-old magnate Murdoch, 84, has been married three times and has six children. He split from his most recent wife Wendi Deng two years ago.

The News Corporation executive chairman has an estimated wealth of £8.7billion.
