McCartney ex-wife awarded $48.7M

LONDON, England (CNN) -- Former Beatle Paul McCartney was Monday ordered to pay nearly $50M to his estranged wife as their bitter divorce battle came to an end.

Heather Mills told reporters she was "so glad" her legal fight for a share of the pop legend's fortune was over, as court documents named the final figure as £24.3 million ($48.7M).

McCartney and Mills failed to agree on a settlement ending their four-year marriage in divorce hearings last month, leaving Judge Hugh Bennett to decide the terms.

The figure fell short of the previous record for a litigated divorce settlement in Britain is £48 million ($96 million), handed down last year, said British divorce lawyer Julian Lipson.

And a nice slap in the face to her that she gets such a minimal amount of Paul's wealth.

:applause:

it could have cost him..... a lot

Oh I so hate having a conscience and not posting the joke that is just sitting there :grr:

It could have cost him an arm and a LEG??

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Have I missed something?

That's reason enough for me.

"Trollop," I suppose, means infidelity? And she's a gold-digger because of McCartney's money?

Perhaps the way her parents brought her up.

I don't know.

I wonder what her mother is like, and what the relationship between her mother and father is like.

"Trollop" does not necessarily mean a prostitute or woman who exhibits infidelity. It can also mean slattern or immoral or promiscuous woman, or an untidy or slovenly woman. She doesn't seem to be untidy, though.

I call her a gold-digger not because of Paul's money, but because she appears to have more interested in his money than anything else.

...my first thought was that Paul's kids, especially Stella, really hated Ms. Mills. They're probably not happy with this news but I'm sure that they'll ultimately see it the way you do...

:toast:

I sure as shit wouldn't turn down nearly $50 million.

and people like Paul passed mine a LOOOOONG time ago

Ca-CHING
:bounce:

Not without an ironclad prenup.

...that prenups mean nothing in Britain. So, she probably would have gotten this regardless.

talk about bad rebound relationships.

How much would Heather have gotten if she hadn't had his kid.

She just wanted Paul's Money, even offered to give him the child if he gave her a certain amount of money.

That lil girl is worth more than all his money and he knows it. Beatrice deserves to appreciate life without a gold-digger as her role-model

a LOT more than $50 million). How many families have the luxury of raising a child on $50 million? Not to mention that I'm sure Beatrice will still get an inheritance from her dad anyway.

Seriously, this would have been alot easier if he had a vasectomy. Once a child was involved he'll be forever connected to that gold-digger.

Yeeesh....not for all the tea in China

He's probably got a big drumstick...

The door opened on the side of this industrial building, and out they strolled. Nobody on the street but me and them.

My brief encounter with a Beatle.

even though he was never my favorite beatle, my knees were still shaking........

God I hope so.

$50 million is weekend money for him. He's lucky that's all she got. She's lucky to have gotten it. End of story.

If she's smart and wants to repair her damaged public image she should take what she got and disappear. The money she got has nothing to do with their daugther. Sir Paul will see to it that the kid gets everything without having to go through the ex to give it to the lil girl

That's a big dice roll. Take her structured settlement and run.

Clearly standard logic doesn't apply here

I'm so glad it's over," an emotional Mills told reporters outside the court. "It was an incredible result in the end to secure mine and my daughter's future, and that of all the charities that I obviously plan on helping and making a difference with - because you know it has been my life for 20 years.

Why should Paul be 'forced' to donate to her charities thru her divorce settlement? I think McCartney is a pretty generous person when it comes to charities and should haven't to be forced to donate to her charities too. If her charities are worthwhile (and I think one is, the Landmines one) then I'm sure Paul will make donations on his own terms and others will want to reach out to help the cause.

As for Beatrice, don't think that chump chance that Mom got in the divorce settlement was for Beatrice. I'm sure Sir Paul will do everything in his power to see that Beatrice gets her equal share of his estate; a share that hopefully will not have any access to her money-grubbing mommy.

And sign a fucking pre-nup next time!

But she wasn't hangin' with no broke drummer ...

She deserves nothing.

is a muzzle to keep her mouth shut & out of the press. She'll be back for more.

how YOU doin'? ;)
