Media mogul Rupert Murdoch, 84, has married model Jerry Hall, 59, in a civil ceremony at Spencer House, London.
Their relationship is rumoured to have begun mid last year, and the couple announced their engagement in the births, marriages and deaths section of The Times last month.
Despite Murdoch having a net worth of over $11 billion, the ceremony was relatively low-key. It is rumoured that there were two witnesses, and one guest.
The venue, Spencer House, is an 18th century aristocratic palace built for an ancestor of Princess Diana.
The private ceremony will be followed up by a reception at St. Bride’s Church in London on Saturday. The venue is known as the “spiritual home” of the media mogul, and caters to between 150 and 200 guests.
Murdoch, who owns News Corp, 21st Century Fox and book publisher Harper Collins, has taken to Twitter since marrying Hall, proclaiming himself “the luckiest and happiest man in the world.”
No more tweets for ten days or ever! Feel like the luckiest AND happiest man in world.

This is Murdoch’s fourth marriage and Hall’s first. Hall has been strongly associated with Mick Jagger in the past, but the pair never officially tied the knot after their 1992 wedding was legally voided.

Isn't love grand?
This is the real thing - not! Look at the body language they're facing away from each other. Why on earth are they getting married, are hey going to start a family? Is it because they crave attention or are they just hopeless romantics?
Sorry, I forgot - "congratulations Jerry and Rupert", I give it a year.
So if it is not the real thing as you have stated there must be a motive. What is the motive for either of them and who ultimately wins here?
They couldn't even muster a kiss for the cameras.
I have no idea why they got married. That's why there are so many question marks in my post.
I have just thought of a reason; they're both getting on and perhaps it was just to make themselves feel better - he pulls and ex super model and she gets an ancient billionaire. Do you have any ideas?
