About Lionel Richie

Lionel Richie, a world-renowned popstar, and forever remembered for his soulful hits like 'Hello' and 'All Night Long' may have thought twice about his romantic ballad 'Endless Love' given his rocky love life. Coming in with settlements totaling -$20,000,000 Richie really gives the phrase 'costly love affairs' a whole new meaning.

Often fancied envied by bachelors globally for his then glamour matches, Lionel probably wouldn't mind lending out his patented husky notes for singing 'once, twice... 'correction' not three times a lady' with a price tag as whopping as this! The first hit (financially and emotionally, we suppose) came in the rather dramatic rupture with high-school sweetheart, Brenda Richie, rounding off an even $20 million sent from his pockets to hers. Richie surely could've composed a perfectly poignant 'Ballad of Settlements' by now!

Rolling with the punchlines, one might quip that this particular break up appeared a bit pricey from this side of the speaker, duly echoing vibrations of Richie's 'Truly'. Speaking of the more intricate details (suitable for your pop culture trivia night), come meet us elsewhere! We have lots more engaging stories over a steaming hot cuppa of the subtly amusing and gently brutal world of elusive discographies and pricey divorces! Keep those earphones plugged in, who knows we might just be shedding light on the 'Dancing Queen' abandoning the lyrical romance, exclusively here in the phonograph-record constellation!
