Ted Danson

About Ted Danson

Fans of 80's sitcom standby "Cheers" may remember Ted Danson for his character Sam Malone's sweeping heads of hair, his stirring pitches across the bar top, and his complicated love life. Yet, it seems Danson played matchmaker off-screen just as often as his charmingly roguish character did on the show!

Instead of smooth comments and well-placed winks, though, Danson seems to have used something even more invaluable: his wealth. According to a public record, Danson paid a whopping, or should we say 'heart-stopping' (pun intended!) $30 million to his ex-wife Casey Coates during their 1993 divorce! Now that’s an expensive lesson in love! There was no happy finish here; Danson tops the charts when it comes to celebrity divorce settlements. It seems old Sammy boy could out-drink any man at Cheers, but when it came to matters of the heart, Ted couldn’t win for losing!

Ever amicable, though often blundering, our beloved barkeep balances levity with loss. Even off the silver screen, Ted Danson’s love misadventures showcase both the cost of parting ways and the price tag on comedic amiability. Calling loving gamers! Now tip your glass, throw those peanuts, but hold onto your invoices – the cost just may not be worth 'hitting the cheers' when it comes to love at the bar—or so says the lesson we get from Ted Danson’s bumper settlement.
