Was this a divorce or a lotto win?
They were married for 4 years, how much money does that come to per day?
Doesn't sound far removed from her prostitution past, just a little more deceptive, plotting but legal version of it.
I guess Paul should have listened to his kids, they didn't like her or want him to marry her.
I think Paul must really be missing the wonderful wife he had in Lynda right now.
Hang in there Paul.
LONDON -- Paul McCartney was ordered today to pay Heather Mills $48.6 million to settle their divorce.
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.
"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.
McCartney left the court without making any statement.
While pleased with the financial settlement, Mills intends to appeal to prevent publication of the details of the settlement for the couple's daughter.
McCartney, 65, and Mills, 40, went to court last month to decide on Mills' share of his fortune, which had been estimated at as much as $1.6 billion.
Judge Hugh Bennett, however, found that the total value of all of McCartney's assets, including his business assets, was about $800 million.
Mills said the settlement vindicated her decision to fire her lawyers. The legal fees, she said, instead "could easily go to charity."
"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," she said.
"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."
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.
She had harsh words for McCartney's lawyer, Fiona Shackleton, who was well known for representing Prince Charles in his divorce from Princess Diana.
"She has called me many, many names before even meeting me when I was in a wheelchair," said Mills.
The settlement has been a long time coming for the couple, who separated two years ago, after four years of marriage. At the time they said the parting was "amicable" and insisted "both of us still care about each other very much."
But the split has grown fractious since McCartney filed for divorce alleging his wife's "unreasonable behavior."
Mills -- a former model whose left leg was amputated below the knee after a motorcycle accident in 1993 -- claimed McCartney had failed to protect her and their daughter from slander, death threats and other abuse, and accused the media of persecuting her. In November, Mills said she had been "treated worse than a murderer or a pedophile," despite years of work for land mine victims and animal welfare charities.
McCartney met Mills in 1999, the year after the death from breast cancer of his first wife, Linda. That marriage was one of rock's most enduring unions, and produced three children, including fashion designer Stella McCartney.
Mills and McCartney married at an Irish castle in June 2002, amid rumors the former Beatle's children disapproved of their new stepmother. The couple's daughter was born the following year.

No winners in this settlement. In spite of a little gold digging on Heather's part, there's still a child involved. The child's the clear loser, in spite of any monetary awards or settlement.
The saddest thing with divorce these days, is narrowing it down to dollars and cents. So much more is at stake.

I'm confused...
He failed to protect her from death threats?
Hmph-she's still alive!

How do you get pissed about getting $48 million dollars for having sex with an old man? I'd wager the hooker who got New York's governor in all that trouble didn't make close to that.

Reminds me of the joke making the rounds, recently. Not going to post the whole thing, but:
"Who wants a one-legged gold-digger," bemoaned the maimed miner.
From a great distance, you hear, "N-o-t . m-e ! !"

Letterman made a joke about it too. Said the governor got off pretty cheaply with his hooker compared to Paul McCartney!
I wish celebs could keep their private affairs private. I know it's hard to do but look at all the years Paul had with Linda and was not in the papers all the time. I think he was just trying to find what he had had with her. Didn't work, did it?
edited for a typo.

 i just thought of sumpin! this will be the taxman's next tax scheme! to tax the settlements of both parties in a divorce! the politicians will figure out some way to make it work! they are trying to figure out a way to tax my bullets! i think my bullets are taxed 2 or 3 ways already, aren't they"? aren't the chinese taxing for having an extra kid? oh, from what i heard, stats wise, Paul got off very light. he will be labeled an idiot if he even thinks about getting married again. why does a rich person get married anyway? can anyone tell me why a rich person gets married? oh say at least 10 million or so.

an old man?
that's not just any old man, to be honest.
i mean...the guy down the street from me who looks like santa and pines for the good old days while saying everyone under the age of 30 doesn't know shit about anything, meanwhile he can't do long division anymore and he can never find his teeth...that's an old man. mccartney's an ex- Beatle. that's the farthest thing from old man....

Are there any stories of this happening the other way around? It would be nice to hear about the mouse eating the cat for once.
