Media Mogul Murdoch Marries

News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch and television executive Wendi Deng were married aboard his yacht in New York Harbor.

Eighty-two guests attended the private ceremony Friday evening aboard "Morning Glory," which left from Chelsea Piers as a string ensemble played Mozart. The couple were married by state Supreme Court Justice Jacqueline Silbermann.

Among the guests were family members and friends including Michael Milken and Russian entrepreneur Boris Berezovsky. Welsh singing prodigy Charlotte Church performed three songs at the service.

Murdoch's divorce from his second wife, Anna, was finalized June 8, ending their 32-year marriage. Details of the settlement were not disclosed, but in a joint statement the couple described the agreement as amicable, and said management of Murdoch's media empire would not be affected.

Murdoch, 68, controls 30.1 percent of News Corp., the international media conglomerate that includes the 20th Century Fox movie studio, Fox TV, the Los Angeles Dodgers, major newspapers in the United States, England and Australia and satellite TV networks on several continents.

His net worth was estimated by Forbes magazine last year at $5.6 billion.

Deng, 31, resigned from her post as vice president of Murdoch's Hong Kong-based Star Television service late last year.
