It's easy to assume Lionel Richie wasn't dancing on the ceiling when he had to fork over a nice piece of his earnings to his second ex-wife, Diane Alexander. Mrs. Richie No. 2 filed for divorce in 2004 and claimed she needed outrageous amounts of cash to continue the lavish lifestyle she was living, which included a monthly clothing allowance of $15,000; $50,000 a month for manicures, massages and other personal services; and an annual plastic surgery budget of $20,000. Lionel ultimately paid Diane about $20 million in alimony.
