She tied the knot with the Rolling Stones frontman on a beach in Bali in 1990, but this was annulled following their split in 1999. It was technically a first marriage for Ms Hall, following a 22-year relationship – and four children – with Mick Jagger. The union with Jerry Hall represented a fourth marriage for Mr Murdoch, who is worth an estimated £14billion.
