Well, I’m surprised by this, but I don’t know why. I know nothing about her other than she was once with Jagger. Maybe it’s because I can relate to the attraction to Jagger, but not to Murdock. ---

She must be really good in bed to nab the super 1%. She has been dating Murdock for three months for goodness sake. But with Jagger and Murdock’s access to so much of the female population, I can’t imagine she could do anything thousands of others don’t do. ---

I’d guess that the attraction is money, and possibly power. ---

Maybe Murdoch is hoping that some of Jagger’s cool will rub off on him by banging Mick Jaggers Ex? What do you buy when you’re a billionaire? An ex rock stars wife I guess? Hope he got her STD tested first! 😉 ---

[Here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siren_(Roxy_Music_album)#/media/File:Roxysiren.jpg)she is on the cover of Roxy Music’s Siren. I knew she was a supermodel, but didn’t know she shared an apartment (and evidently risqué acts) with Grace Jones in Paris. And I had forgotten that she was with Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music.

But with Jagger and Murdock’s access to so much of the female population, I can’t imagine she could do anything thousands of others don’t do. Perhaps she’s highly intelligent and has a strong personality that successful people appreciate? Certainly that seems more plausible than that she gives the world’s best BJs or whatever. ---

Certainly that seems more plausible than that she gives the world’s best BJs or whatever. Oh yeah, she’s known for being intelligent, charming - she was dating Bryan Ferry when she met Jagger - she has spent quality time with some pretty sophisticated men. ---
