John Cleese's ex-wife will leave divorce richer than him

Work that one out.

John Cleese has been forced to agree a divorce settlement of nearly £12.5million with his third wife.

The deal is likely to leave her richer than him.

He will hand over £8million to Alyce Faye Eichelberger in cash and assets, plus £612,000 a year for the next seven years, despite them having no children.

The payout will reduce 69-year-old Cleese's overall wealth to around £10million.

He has, however, managed to find a sense of humour about the settlement, saying: 'I got off lightly. Think what I'd have had to pay Alyce if she'd contributed anything to the relationship.'

Revelations about the divorce, which it is understood will be rubberstamped imminently, have come from Cleese's friend Michael Winner.

The film director and restaurant critic said: 'His ex-wife Alyce Faye Eichelberger told me on a previous spat..."John doesn't know what's going to hit him. I'll take him for every penny". She kept her word.'

Only in this bullshit feminist society could a woman even assume they would be able to take so much of a man’s hard earned wealth.

'Alyce lived in a council flat when they met. There are no dependent children. Yet she's getting some $13million in cash and assets (£8million). Plus a further $1million (£612,000 a year for seven years).

'As he put it "What I find so unfair is that if we both died today, her children would get much more than mine".

No dependent children, he made all of the money, yet she is going to take most of it, and that is on top of enjoying the fruits of his labours ALREADY since 1992.

Psychotherapist Miss Eichelberger, 64, the third Mrs Cleese, was originally claiming £900,000-a-year maintenance, two houses and half of his earnings since they married in 1992.

Wow. How women can even get off demanding such things is unbelievable. No honour or respect whatsoever. What’s love got to do with it.. indeed.

And they wonder why marriage rates are falling like a rock. Which is part of the Marxo-feminist plan of course. Destroy the nuclear family.

Still, even on the level of screwed up divorces, this is something else.
