Rupert Murdoch needs cash so bad that he's renting out his private yacht

It boasts five spacious suites, several luxurious salons, a gym and the king size bed in which Rupert Murdoch enjoys his holiday lie-ins. And now, from just €210,000 (£181,000) a week, you too can holiday like a media mogul, accompanied by nine lucky guests, and attended to day and night by the same number of exceptionally solicitous staff.

The Australian tycoon may head a $33bn (£20bn) global newspaper and television empire, but even billionaires can do with a little extra pocket money now and then. It has emerged that the News Corporation chairman has made his yacht, Rosehearty, a 183ft (56-metre) "aluminium masterpiece", available for holiday rents – although of course only those with quite a few million of their own need apply.

The charter company CharterWorld.com is listing the three-year-old yacht for hire in the Mediterranean or Caribbean, boasting "magnificent" performance and "a stunning interior by famous French designer Christian Liaigre" that includes "full beam owner's suite with king bed and sitting area". The yacht's two tenders, reportedly named Grace and Chloe after Murdoch's young twin daughters, are included, along with two dinghies complete with instructor, six sets of dive gear, and nine plasma TVs.
