Costly Celebrity Divorces: Who Paid The Most To Say Goodbye?
Neil Diamond & Marcia Murphey – $150 Million
Neil Diamond’s marriage to Marcia Murphey, spanning a quarter-century, encapsulates the highs and lows of life in the limelight. However, as with many tales of fame, their story took a turn. In 1996, amid swirling rumors of infidelity, their marriage, even with two kids, reached its end.
Neil, reflecting on the split, acknowledged his role in the dissolution, citing his relentless career as a barrier to fulfilling Marcia’s needs. While financially hefty with an estimated $150-million settlement, the divorce didn’t sour his respect for his ex-wife, whom he “deemed worth every penny.” Post-divorce, he found solace in music, crafting his album “Tennessee Moon.”
