About Joanna Holland

Let's become a bit nostalgic and walk down the love-life lane of Joanna Holland. She is majorly known, thanks to her high-profile relationship with the one and only—a giant of the television broadcasting world—Johnny Carson. Unknown to the limelight hitherto, her popularity soared meteorically when her unexpected matrimonial discord with Carson hugged the social headlines in the late80s. Joanna, an outbound and free-spirited fashion aficionado, skyrocketed to being one of history's well-known (and well-compensated) exes.

We always knew Carson had a knack for punchlines, but who knew they extended beyond his late-night television show towards his significant choices of companions? The marquee divorce, listed as one of the most expensive celebrity-crippling checkouts, surely keeps Johnny on two extremely affluent lists - total late-night hosting airtime and tantalizing total divorce settlements. The aftermath? Joanna cleared $20 million — an all-timer when adjusted for inflation.

Do you remember the early '80s classic flick - The Love Boat? Well, our Joanna came calling a few years after appearing on the sets but gave the dear old Carson a coup de grace that blithely sent that love boat on a cruise to Alimony Island. While her total settlements pile up like her cocktail rings, releasing Carson from her nuptial knots provided her the most exquisite jewel — five-fold more weighty and shiny: her whopping $20 million divorce settlement. Not bad, actually exceptional if the realm is heavy pocket cash-generating divorces!
