8. Wendi Deng – “Newsie’
One of the hallmarks of being a successful trophy wife is not being the first one to the party. It’s true. The actual “Trophy Wife (TW) Guidelines” calls for the young aspiring TW to come swooping in after the wealthy man is already settled in with someone else. This is exactly the case with Wendi Deng and news mogul Rupert Murdoch. Murdoch’s second wife couldn’t stop Deng (who was working for a News Corp. subsidiary at the time) from shaking her goods for the big boss. She bagged her man and they got married. They had nearly a 40-year age difference and then problems started to arise (shocking). Sadly, Deng got tired of the much older Murdoch and reportedly went flocking for former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Awkward. Murdoch filed immediately for divorce.
