McCartney must pay Mills
Associated Press
LONDON - A judge awarded Heather Mills a total of $48.6 million Monday in the financial settlement of her divorce from former Beatle Paul McCartney.
A document released by the Family Court said the judge awarded Mills a lump sum of $33 million plus the assets she currently holds worth $15.6 million.
"I'm so, so happy with this," Mills told reporters following the closed hearing.
The court also ruled that the couple's 4-year-old daughter Beatrice should receive a "periodical payments order" of $70,000 per annum. On top of that, McCartney will pay for the child's nanny and school fees.
Mills had sought almost $250 million, while McCartney had said she should receive $31.6 million, including her own assets, which the court assessed at $15.6 million.
Judge Hugh Bennett found that the total value of all of McCartney's assets, including his business assets, was about $800 million. He said there was no evidence to support the widely published figure that was more than twice as much.
McCartney left the court without making any statement.
"I'm so glad it's over," Mills said at her impromptu news conference.
"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," she said.
"Obviously the court do not want a litigant in person to do well, it's against everything that they ever wish, so when they write the judgment up they're never going to make it look in favor.
"But all of you that have researched know that it was always going to be a figure between 20 and 30 million (pounds), Paul was offering a lot less than that, which you'll see in the judgment, and very much last minute to put me and Beatrice sadly through this ... incredibly sad."

This is such a terrible story and an indication of how dumb McCartney was! He married her without a prenup!?!? Unreal.....
Now this woman takes all this money that she was not there to earn! His children never see that money now! Serves him right to have married so soon after the death of his wife...
Just f-ing sad................

There was no love and no marriage in this case. Heather wanted some money and now she got it. How long did he mourn his late wife before hooping in the ring with Heather? Sing with me
Love and Marriage, Love and Marriage,
Go together like a horse and carriage,
This I tell ya brother, you can't have one without the other.
Love and Marriage, Love and Marriage,
It's an institute you can't disparage,
Ask the local gentry, and they will say is element'ry.
Try, try, try to separate them,
It's an illusion.
Try, try, try and you will only come
to this conclusion.
Love and Marriage, Love and Marriage,
Go together like a horse and carriage,
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one
You can't have none
You can't have one without the other.

Heather Mills Romance Mathematics
Heather Mills Romance Mathematics
Smart man + smart woman = romance = I don catch am
Smart man + dumb woman = pregnancy = child support
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage = no prenup
Dumb man + dumb woman = divorce = Show me the $$$$$$$$$$$
She walks away a very rich woman and remember she came with nothing and did not contribute a dime. Spent more than she put in.
I am in the wrong profession and in the wrong relationship.

Me, I don't feel too sorry for Sir Paul ooo. Heather didn't march him down the aisle with a gun to his head, did she? They both knew what they were doing.
Reportedly, Sir Paul is an alleged control freak and wife beater, who thought he had snagged a young blonde beautiful docile woman. Heather allegedly is/was a fortune hunter and all the rest of it........
Now, I just wish they'll both go away and leave us in the UK in peace!

What?! What did he get!!? Millions of dollars in services?!? Even the govenor of NY didn't pay that much...
No-one is saying she shouldn't get something, but HALF of the man's total assets that he accumulated long before he met her?!? Haba.... She should get half of any wealth appreciation during their marriage. So if he was worth $200 million when they married and now he is worth $250 million, she should get $25 milliion.. Not $125 million!
But na im marry without prenup.... Idiot...

@ Sidney: Half keh! No, Heather has been awarded £24.3m. Sir Paul's total asset is about £400m, See link.
Heather Mills Gets £24.3m Payout In Paul McCartney Divorce Battle |Sky News|UK News
Heather and her advisers/friends are said to be furious with the £400m asset claim as its been reported for years that Paul is worth £800m.
So Paul and his legal team (reportedly the very best in the UK) had the last laugh after all - in a way!
