Anna Maria dePeyster DSG (née Torv; formerly Murdoch and Mann; born 30 June 1944) is a British and Australian journalist and novelist.

She became known as the second wife of media mogul Rupert Murdoch, and was a director at News Corp. Anna Maria Torv was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1944[1] to Jakob Tõrv (anglicised Jacob Torv), an Estonian merchant seaman, and Sylvia Iris Bodfish, a Scottish drycleaner's shop assistant.

In a 2001 interview with Australian Women's Weekly, she spoke of how badly Rupert had behaved, not only having an affair, but pushing her off the board of News Corp.[2][9] The trust gives the children born before this time (including stepdaughter Prudence, from Murdoch's first marriage) equal say in the fate of the businesses:[10] each would have one vote in the trust, while their father would have four.

Almost all of the family's wealth is in shares controlling 40% of both News Corp and Fox Corporation, and is tied up in the trust, which is worth around $US6 billion.

When Rupert Murdoch made moves to change the terms of the trust so that only Lachlan would have voting rights in his companies in 2023, the other three children challenged this in court in 2024.
