First off...don't you think David Wolf had any responsibility in his relationship with Wendi???? He was the one that took a vow of marriage and had a family. He could have kept it in his pants. Wendi isn't the only one at fault there.
Wendi married Murdoch 17 days after his divorce was finalized. How long was he legally separated for? When did they start divorce proceedings? Maybe he and his wife were having marital problems prior to meeting Wendi. Who the heck knows!?! Again, Murdoch is a bright man, hardly naive. I find it incredibly hard to believe he was taken advantage of by Wendi and her "gold digging" ways. Maybe he likes the fact that she's driven. I get the feeling that they both enjoy talking business and make a great partnership.
1) I never said that Rupert Murdoch was naive or being taken advantage of. If anything, he saw Wendi as an asset to helping him in the Chinese media market. I do give Wendi for being a very driven woman....most gold diggers and social climbers are.
2) Rupert Murdoch's 2nd wife (the one he was married to for 31 years) indicated in an interview that the Rupert-Wendi affair began before the separation and was basically the cause for the end of the marriage.
Anna Murdoch Mann: 'He was hard, ruthless and determined' - Media, News - The Independent (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/anna-murdoch-mann-he-was-hard-ruthless-and-determined-679166.html - broken link)
3) The initial affair (in which Wendi pulled a Soon Yi and was able to come to America was with Jake Cherry) I never said that he was blameless but Wendi was obviously the one with the most to gain (and did by gaining a green card) before moving on to David Wolf (the one who financed her Yale grad school education)
4) Why can't we all just appreciate her talents/skills in sleeping her way to the top and stop trying to sugar-coat it. She went from being in nowhere mainland China to becoming the wife of a media mogul....she should write a book or teach a Learning Annex class on the topic
You Go Wendy! Protect your hubby! I bet he treats her well, and he doesn't have to be young or attractive to deserve to be loved by his wife. Bad husbands should take note: if you treat your wife well, she'll do the same thing for you.
No, he doesnt have to be young or attractive..just RICH.
And yes..treat your wife well and she will stand by you. ESPESCIALLY IF YOU ARE RICH!!!!
-teenage Wendi living in China meets an American couple living in China (Jake and Joyce Cherry) and asks to be "tutored" in English
-asks couple to sponsor her for education visa and moves back to US with them
-has an affair with the husband, wife discovers (Soon Yi type photos) kicks Wendi out of the house, the husband moves out and moves in with Wendi, marries her, stays with Jake Cherry for 2 1/2 yrs (long enough to get a green card)
-Wendi has an affair with David Wolf (who is much closer to her age), divorces Jake Cherry (who is thirty years older than her)
-marries David Wolf who finances her Yale education, then divorces him too
-obtains an internship for one of Murdoch's media companies in Hong Kong, makes it a point to crash events/parties where she knews Murdoch will be attending and gets herself on teams which will take her to London to be able to interact with Murdoch further and begans an affair with him
-Murdoch divorces his wife of 30 plus years (making her resign from the board of News Corp) and marries Wendi Deng 17 days later
I give her credit for being true to herself and what she really wanted...she was very hard-working and ambitious in her gold digging
What's interesting after skimming that article, is that the MO here goes beyond the stereotype of a mail order bride; a woman simply looking to be taken care with a better lifestyle than can be found in her own country. A lifestyle that could also be considered meager by many of us. What this lady is doing goes far beyond that. The gold she appears to be after is more than money.

I am curious, heres a question to those who say her vagina is the only reason she's made it: can you get into, and perform well, at Yale? And could you do it at an equally prestigious university at which nothing is taught in your mother tongue?
Oh nonsense. She's hardly a supermodel in looks. What has taken her far is her sharp mind. Rich, powerful men expect more than a nice body and pretty face, they want a women who can bring something to the table and thus elevate the both of them to a higher status.
Of course all you plebeian men have no idea whatsoever
Sigh...indeed it has. Indeed it has. Lets face it, after reading a bit of her history, what else can one say other than she is a gold digger? I mean, it is what it is. But hey, look where she is now. Guess it worked for her.

Really...hmmm. Someone should tell Hugh Heffner that. What with all them blonde brain surgeons he has around him and what not.
