chime in nowCountry crooner Kenny Rogers may have taken a gamble—and lost—when he married fourth wife Marianne Gordon. When their union ended, Marianne went all in and took Kenny for somewhere between $40 and $60 million. You would think the singer would have been bitter after losing his shirt, but Ken told the press that Marianne "deserved it" for putting up with him. We guess it's true what Kenny sings: "Every gambler knows the secret to surviving is knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep."
