As per the report, Joanna's sources of income were said to be her divorce settlements and other investments, along with what she earned during her modelling days.
Joanna divorced Johnny Carson in 1985, ending their 12-year marriage. And as per HOLA!, the settlement amount paid during that time was USD 20 million. Also, it goes without saying that the divorce is considered as one of the most expensive ones in the entertainment world.
Joanna and Johnny's love story
The couple got hitched in 1972. Their romance started after they met at the 21 Club in New York a year before. The TV host and comedian once told PEOPLE that he was flirting like a "sophomore" when they met for the first time. Reportedly, she was the highest-paid model at that time. She was living with her son Tim from her first marriage with former World Backgammon Champion Tim Holland.
Johnny and Joanna later moved to California. Though she was not keen to shift her base from New York to California, Johnny's The Tonight Show was moved to the latter state. The TV host convinced her when he said that they are going to get married.
In the biography, 'Carson the Magnificent', Joanna mentioned Johnny's drinking habit. Also, even the comedian himself admitted the same in an interview with 60 Minutes.
