Celebrity Divorces That Ripped Fortunes Apart And Left Egos In The Gutter
Kenny Rogers and Marianne Rogers – Settlement: $60 million
Time may have mellowed, but there’s no forgetting the $60 million headline that followed suit. Kenny Rogers, the iconic crooner of “The Gambler,” met Marianne Gordon, who starred in “Rosemary’s Baby” and “Hee Haw,” in the early 1970s. After marrying in 1977, the two welcomed a son named Christopher in 1981.
Their 16-year partnership dissolved in 1993, culminating in a $60 million divorce settlement that shocked Nashville and beyond. Irreconcilable differences were the reason for their separation. Marianne has since kept a low profile, while the Country Music Hall of Fame member’s legacy of crossover hits still endures in country music lore.
