Once actor Kelsey Grammer headed to Broadway to star in La Cage Aux Folles, his crumbling marriage was left behind in Beverly Hills, under the spotlights of reality television crews. His soon-to-be former wife, and the mother of two of his children, Camille Donatacci (who he allegedly dumped via a friend, on the phone!) is currently one of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and Kelsey is now ready to throw $50 million at the troubled marriage to put an end to it, according to the NY Post.
Camille is credited (at least by herself) for stopping Kelsey's drinking, and for parlaying his money into a $100 million fortune,which is now being split down the middle (Grammer, 55, is now engaged to a 29-year-old flight attendant, who miscarried their baby earlier this year). Have you hit hard times financially? No worries, Camille has a Jesus complex and surely she'll be helping others with her Hollywood wife take-home pay.
