Costly Celebrity Divorces: Who Paid The Most To Say Goodbye?

John Cleese & Alyce Faye Eichelberger – $20 Million

John Cleese’s romantic chapter with Alyce Faye Eichelberger, though filled with love, ended in a costly split that continues to echo in his career. The pair married in 1992 and lasted 16 years. Their union was devoid of children but rich in shared experiences.

However, by 2008, they decided to call it quits. Their divorce not only ended their marital journey but also led to a hefty $20-million settlement in Alyce’s favor. This significantly impacted John, pushing him back to the stage. His ‘Alimony Tour’ in 2011 and involvement in the “Monty Python” reunion show in 2014 were partly fueled by the need to meet these financial obligations.
