Genesis singer settles with Orianne Cevey after their separation
Monday, 18 August 2008
Phil Collins has handed over a huge chunk of his personal fortune to ex-wife Orianne Cevey.
The settlement came to light in the latest accounts for his management company – which detailed the £25 million payout.
Phil, 57, met Orianne when she was just 22. They were married for 6 years and separated in 2006.
And insiders reckon Phil - who has been divorced 3 times - has paid out almost a third of his £140 million fortune over the years.
‘Marriage has certainly not come cheap for Phil,’ a pal tells the Sunday Mirror.
‘He has now made 2 of the biggest divorce payouts in showbiz history. At least no one can accuse him of leaving his ex wives short.’
In 1994 the musician paid Jill Tavelman, mum to his 18-year-old daughter Lily, £17 million when they split. He famously dumped her by fax message after meeting Orianne.
Orianne, 35, (pictured below) has remained in the couple's £20 million Geneva home with their sons Nicolas, 8, and Matthew, 4.
Phil, 57, is also dad to adopted daughter Joely, 36, and son Simon, 31, from his first wife actress Andrea Bertorelli.
He has recently been linked to to American newsreader Dana Tyler.
