Rupert Murdoch, Mel Gibson and Michael Jordan are all in the $100 million breakup club.
After 14 years of marriage, Rupert Murdoch has filed for divorce from the woman who protected him from a pie thrower during a parliamentary hearing.
For being married to the media mogul and founder of News Corp. for 14 years, birthing him two daughters, and punching the pie smasher, Wendi Deng stands to make a hefty settlement ? if Murdoch?s divorce from his second wife is an indicator.
