'Monty Python cast member John Cleese is allegedly selling off a number of props and movie memorabilia in order to finance his pending divorce.

The comedian’s divorce has reportedly cost the man quite a bit of money, forcing him to part with a number of items he obtained over the course of his career. The Daily Mail reports that Cleese even embarked on the Alimony Tour which featured the actor doing stand-up in hopes of raising money for alimony payments.
...
The actor ended his marriage to psychotherapist Alyce Faye Eichelberger in 2008 after 16 years. A judge ordered Cleese to pay his ex-wife a grand total of £12.5 million as a result. This apparently doesn’t include the hefty alimony payments he’ll have to may [sic] for the next few years. The comedian will have to fork over £612,000 a year until 2016.

In addition to handing over their shared New York City apartment, John Cleese also had to part with his West London home.'
