Report: Phil Collins Breaks Divorce Payout Record in Split From Third Wife
By ,
Published January 13, 2015
Phil Collins' split from his third wife has landed him at the top of the list for the biggest divorce payout by a British celebrity in legal history, according to the U.K.'s Mirror.
Collins, 57, reportedly paid Orianne Cevey, 35, $46.68 million, topping the Heather Mills-Paul McCartney divorce by $1 million.
The couple, who met while Collins was on tour, announced their separation in 2006.
Collins and Cevey, who was working as a translator at the time, had been married for six years and have two children — Nicolas, 8, and Matthew, 4.
But this isn't the first time Collins' bank account has taken a significant dip. In 1980, Collins divorced his first wife, Canadian-born Andrea Bertorelli. She reportedly ran off with their interior decorator. In 1994, Collins divorced his second wife, Jill Tavelman, paying her $34 million after he is said to have dumped her via fax.
It is estimated that Collins has paid nearly $84 million in divorce settlements to his ex-wives, according to the Mirror.
The Genesis singer recently announced he is giving touring up for good after losing some of his hearing to an ear infection.
