SHOULD THINGS EVER get nasty for Rupert Murdoch – as they might, if Julian Assange’s claims to have a secret “insurance file” on the tycoon are true –  then at least he’s not going to be short of places to escape the media onslaught.

The US website Curbed.com has unveiled four of Murdoch’s secret hideaways around the globe – and it appears the publishing baron’s taste is for soft furnishings as heavyweight as his reputation.

From Murdoch’s penthouse apartment at 834 Fifth Avenue, to his Beverly Hills getaway, and the Sydney pad his son Lachlan paid $21 million for in 2009, the Murdochs boast properties in some of the world’s most exclusive locations.

If you’d like a taste of the lifestyle enjoyed by Murdoch and wife Wendi Deng, you can now charter their 183-foot yacht, the Rosehearty, for just $310,000 a week. But if that’s a little out of your price range, you’ll just have to make do with salivating over these pictures instead…

  • Murdoch property portfolio: 141 Prince Street

    When they were getting Fifth Avenue done up, Rupert and Wendi were forced to camp out in their other city pad, at 141 Prince Street. Photo via curbed.com.

  • Murdoch property portfolio: 1330 Angelo Drive

    This is the only photo available of his 11 bedroom, 9 bathroom, Beverly Hills pad. Image via Google Maps.

  • Murdoch property portfolio: Oyster Bay, New York

    Of course, no-one wants to stay in the city on weekends, especially not in the summer. Which is where a $10.5 million Oyster Bay crashpad comes in handy. Angelina Jolie rented this during the filming of salt. Photo courtesy Overseas Property Mall.
