Phil Collins’ ex-wife is auctioning off a bunch of his stuff. Here are the details
Anyone living in Miami Beach in the fall of 2020 had a front row seat to Phil Collins’ tawdry (second) split from his ex wife.
The legendary rocker got back together with Orianne Cevey whom he divorced in 2006 in a record $46 million plus settlement.
The exes reconciled 10 years later and things turned south quickly while they were living together at his North Bay Road mansion.
While Collins was out of the country, Cevey went and eloped with an escort/musician named Tom Bates and moved him into the $33 million palatial home.
The Genesis frontman then filed an eviction notice and it took months for Cevey and Bates to finally vacate to a home in Fort Lauderdale, which subsequently went into foreclosure. Cevey and Bates’ relationship also quickly soured, but that’s a whole other story.
In January 2021, Collins flipped the fancy digs for $39.25M, but apparently didn’t take all his belongings with him.
Because Cevey is now trying to cash in on the rock star’s stuff. The jewelry designer is auctioning a “treasure trove” of her famous ex’s memorabilia with Kodner Gallery in Dania Beach.
Among the most valuable items is Collins’ Yamaha grand piano, worth between $50,000 and $100,000, Kodner estimates. There’s also a vintage Wurlitzer jukebox, which was apparently a wedding gift to the tumultuous couple, when they married in 1999.
“It pains me to part with these cherished items, but I recently downsized homes and simply do not have room,” Cevey told Page Six, adding she will be donating “a large portion of proceeds” to the exes’ Never Give Up Foundation.
Interested parties will also be able to bid on some of Cevey’s designer duds, namely by Chanel. The Swiss native told Page Six that at one point in the early 2000s she had more than 500 pairs of shoes by the French fashion house.
“I was Chanel’s number one client,” she said.
Info: The auction is scheduled to take place starting at 6 p.m. Dec. 6; some things are already currently available for early bidding at Kodner.com; 954-925-2550.
