John Cleese's Big Divorce Settlement
Filed under: Wealth
Monty Python star John Cleese has reached a divorce settlement with his wife and the numbers aren't pretty. Cleese was married to psychotherapist Alyce Faye Eichelberger in 1992. Now he must pay her a total settlement worth $19.7 million. The terms of the divorce give her an apartment in New York, a $3.3 million London home and part ownership of a California beach house. Cleese will be worth less than his former wife. His total net worth will be around $16.5 million. To his credit, Cleese seems to be able to laugh about the situation telling London's Daily Telegraph that "I will know in future if I go out with a lady they will not be after me for my money." Cleese, who is 70, hasn't stopped working. He is said to currently be writing a one-man show called My Alyce Faye Divorce Tour. Cleese's settlement looks mild compared to some others. The Telegraph rounds up the top ten including Rupert and Anna Murdoch, Michael and Juanita Jordan, and Neil Diamond and Marcia Murphey.
