A fundamental difference over money was the real reason behind Rupert Murdoch<\/a>\u2019s surprise divorce from former supermodel Jerry Hall, well-placed sources have said.<\/p>\n

The Saturday Paper<\/em> understands that simmering differences over the division of the Murdoch fortune were at the heart of the falling out between Murdoch and Hall.<\/p>\n

Those differences have been growing since 2019, when Murdoch sold the bulk of his television and movie business, 21st Century Fox, to Disney in a $US71 billion deal.<\/p>\n

That sale created a $12 billion windfall for Rupert\u2019s six children, who each received Disney shares worth $2 billion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the Disney payday came around, there was a view that Jerry should have been given something as Rupert\u2019s custodian, which didn\u2019t happen,\u201d said a source aligned with the Murdochs and familiar with the dynamics within the family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you\u2019ll find that\u2019s what was at the centre of the issue. She\u2019s saying she was wrong-footed by it \u2013 she probably was \u2013 but there\u2019s no question Rupert looks at things in a very different way and money is at the centre of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The source continued: \u201cJerry was constantly trying to work out ways to channel some of Rupert\u2019s hard-earned through to her children with Mick. He turned the ATM off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hall was previously in a long-term relationship with Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, whose wealth is estimated at \u00a3413\u00a0million. She has four adult children from that union: Elizabeth, 38, James, 36, Georgia May, 30, and Gabriel, 24.<\/p>\n

Hall and Jagger split in 1999 after a turbulent relationship spanning two decades. She reportedly received about \u00a310 million in the settlement. He reportedly ended the marriage by email.<\/p>\n

Hall and Murdoch were married in March 2016 and have a firm prenuptial agreement. Control of Murdoch\u2019s $21\u00a0billion media empire, including the Fox and News corporations, will be unaffected by the divorce.<\/p>\n

First reported in The New York Times<\/em> three weeks ago, the divorce surprised both family and friends of the couple.<\/p>\n

Hall filed divorce papers in the Los Angeles Superior Court on July 2, citing \u201cirreconcilable differences\u201d as the reason for the breakdown of her six-year marriage to Murdoch, and seeking spousal support.<\/p>\n
