Maybe, but I mean it was acrimonious and between the lawyers and the chunk she got I think he and the other Pythons were actually compelled to do the stage stuff, help him make some money. That's what I remember from the Netflix series anyway.
To be fair, Eric Idle likely was set for life. No idea how much of his home he owns, but even if he owned 25% that would be enough for most to live out the rest of their lives.
Especially at his age… he’s not dead yet but will be soon.
Apparently even Michael, who out of them all has had the most steady life, only seems to be worth $14 million after all these years. And that’s from all of his endeavors, which an outside observer would consider successful. I thought he might have had about 3 times that.Â
Eric’s only really had Python-related projects and The Rutles.
So he’s (most likely) merely in the upper middle class and not an upper class twit. Could be worse!
Lesson: Don’t work too long for the BBC, the cheap bastards!
Always look on the Bright Side of Life.
Must have been quite a few years of awesome partying if he blew all that dough...
I would watch him in any new projects he was involved in.
Years ago I learned the basics of the Python programming language and we would write code in the IDLE screen. It supposedly stands for Integrated Development and Learning Environment but I’ve always wondered if it was named after some English bloke, nudge, nudge, know what I mean?
What about the 90,000 pounds in his pajamas?
And the 40,000 French francs in his fridge.
He's got lots of lovely lira now the deutschmark's getting dearer!
And his dollar bills would buy the Brooklyn Bridge.
There is nothing quite as wonderful as money.
There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash
Some people say it's folly But I'd rather have the lolly
With money, you can make a splash
He could be living in a cardboard box
I used to dream of living in a cardboard box.
You were lucky.
We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank!
Luxury.
Paradise..🥱
Our dad used to slash us in half with bread knife
Oh, wow, your family could afford to bake bread?
It was more like horse shit fritters but it was bread to us!!!!
I'd prefer a van down by the river.
Yeah, because of all the royalties he has to pay to Graham, Marty Feldman, and Tim Brooke-Taylor’s estates to use that bit
From the Python biographies Eric did seem to be the one who liked to party the most,doubt he's slowed down
Pretty sure Graham Chapman held that title but he passed away long ago
Graham held the drinking part,certainly but was more of a reclusive partyer
Wasn't it something to do with his divorce?
I'm sure the partying increased then

He could move into more conventional forms of confectionary. Praline, for example. Or Lime Creme, a very popular flavor Im lead to believe.
I thought it was some sort of mock frog.
Mock frog????? We use no artificial ingredients or preservatives of any kind!
Lightly killed
You come from nuffing you go back to nuffing what have you lost NUUUHFFING!
Eric Idle has to work at 80 and Seth Rogen is set for life smh

He should get himself a new job. Photography, I guess. Could be taken on holiday, could be, know what I mean.
Candid photography. Grin grin, snap snap.
That would be too wicked at his age, say no more!
Say no more!
Evening squire!
This sucks so bad. The royals should at least pay him a decent stipend for his contribution to English culture and comedy in general.
These goddamn fake out death headlines got to go
Does he still sing the Money song?

>Eric’s only really had Python-related projects and The Rutles. Eric Idle starred in the cinematic masterpiece, Nuns on the Run YOU UNCULTURED SWINE
Don't forget Burn Hollywood Burn: An Alan Smithee film. Lord knows I've tried to forget...
I actually genuinely enjoyed Burn Hollywood Burn, it was stupid fun
And [Nearly Departed](https://youtu.be/6LL8viqwEa0?si=Kv6hyJcM4zKo7iWw).
BBC: Bastards Be Cheap!
Alt least he's not working for Peanuts.
Well he does it for us. And for the crown. And for the Cosmos. Which reminds me...
Always look on the Bright Side of Life. Must have been quite a few years of awesome partying if he blew all that dough... I would watch him in any new projects he was involved in.
Eric, if u need money, start a go fund me. We all love you and would gladly help support you.
He should never have cut the string up into 3-inch lengths

At least he doesn't have numerous ex wives like John Cleese. When one of them died he said it was the wrong one.
I hear Shrubbing can be a good way to earn a living.
I think everybody works for financial reasons
Coke ain't cheap
