About Cynthia Lennon

Oh, the tempestuousness of a rock star's love life! And who better to exemplify this than the late, great John Lennon and his first wife Cynthia Lennon. Cindy, an artist in her own right, bags the accolade of being the only woman to have actually married a Beatle, got divorced, and didn’t land herself in a single legal squabble for a neat settlement (Oorah, Cindy!). Would she make it to our top 'Down with Gold Digger Charts'? Drum roll… unequivocally, yes!

The surprising aspect of an undisclosed settlement amount is often enough to make coffee jump clear out of your mug - "What's that Cynthia Lennon - No settlement from the John Lennon?" she might as well have entered the Guinness Book for "Most gallant action taken by a divorced Beatle's wife". Her insistent request could have been - let it, be… the bare bills, Beatles money be banished behind!

On another thought, did she not know he was worth just a wee, almost unnoticeable chump change – millions! Or perhaps the funds offered were “imagine-d” up that she failed to quite, literally hear the “ka-ching”. Here's holding a lighter high for one small woman deciding love matters more big things with dollar figures attached. Just imagine how her tax accountant must have choked on his Earl Grey hearing the heart-ripping news. Well dear readers, let's pop a champagne in honor of love over loot, because while you may “Money can't buy me love”, it turns out, it couldn’t buy Cynthia Lennon a coffee flavor eclair at the local bakery either. How's that for a chuckle to start your day!
