Paul McCartney Divorce Settlement: $48.7 Million

3/17/08, 11:24 am EST

The divorce saga between Paul McCartney and his estranged wife Heather Mills has finally come to an end, with Mills receiving £24.3 million, or $48.7 million. Mills originally sought $250 million of Macca’s supposed $1.6 billion fortune, but the judge in the case ruled the McCartney’s total assets were only worth $800 million. In addition to today’s ruling, McCartney will also have to pay $70,000 a year in alimony for the couple’s four-year-old daughter, as well as school and nanny fees. “I’m so glad it’s over,” said Mills. “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 twenty years.” Thankfully for McCartney, he reportedly has a $400 million deal in place with Apple and iTunes to release the Beatles catalog digitally, which will help lessen the post-Mills wallet hit.

I am glad the divorce is finalized and Paul can get on with his life. I hope he learned his lesson and doesn’t get married again without a prenuptial. Most of all I wish Paul would stop coloring his hair and look natural. Everyone knows how old he is!

I share the same sentiments as Sanchez! WHO CARES!!!! Why does Mills think that 70 grand is NOT ENOUGH to raise her daughter on? I have supported myself on far far less than that per year! I also know friends with kids (more than 1) that get by on less than 70 large a yr. GET REAL, MILLS!!

There are 3 sides to every story. Do not believe only what the pres tells you.Who knows what really happened begind closed doors. Macca was no saint, Mills certainly isn’t and either are we. In the office today we started passing the hat for Mills, I don’t think she can survive on 48 mil! LMAO! Come on Mills, just shut up and run to the bank laughing!If Paul has a problem it is that he is insecure and needs soemone by his side. There aer bigger problems in this world to worry about some rich guy and some alleged Gold Digger receiving piles of money. And golly gee, 70g’s a year for the child…seems to be enough and the “poor” Mother can contribute. Get a life folks!

Hey Laughable… Yes you are. I’m A Loser isn’t a Macca song.
I agree that he screwed up w/ no prenup. As to his not being smart enough to buy the song rights, if you remember, he simply was outbid by Jacko & now Sony has their un-gloved hand on the catalog and Paul is trying to get his hands back into it.

Hey ‘Get raped’- Wow! How bitter. Why does this ordeal take such a toll on you. It isn’t that important unless you are personally involved. Relax before you have a stroke. We all love Paul and you’re right Mills doesn’t seem like a very nice person, but ‘Gang raped & murdered’? Egads, lighten up no one deserves that as a punishment.

it’s paul’s own fault for not getting a prenup! he wasn’t even smart enough to buy his own publishing rights to the beatles songs… but michael jackson was smart enough to buy paul’s songs! “i’m a loser” was a strong projection into his future.

The real crime is that they were allowed to even have a child … Let’s hope Paul doesn’t get Lulu pregnant next!

nasty whore

The Intl | 3/18/2008, 4:28 am EST

she’s a one-legged whore.

The System works? | 3/18/2008, 2:53 am EST

Think about it people, 48 million!!!!!

Even if she’s as good woman as she presumed to be, it wasn’t necessary to ask for more then 1 million.

This wasn’t an act for charity, woman rights or to secure anybody’s future. She is a gold digger!!!!!!!!

And please don’t start, The Beatles got nothing to do with this.

Country Crotch, how do you know that Paul abused her during their marriage? Just because she said so? I believe her like I believed Bush about there being WMDs in Iraq.

mike | 3/17/2008, 7:31 pm EST

shut the fuck up Country Crotch

I’m a huge Beatles fan, but I readily admit McCartney is a jerk. I think George and Ringo would agree. Still, I doubt very much that he abused Heather Mills. And the fact that McCartney is a jerk doesn’t mean Heather Mills isn’t a gold digger. As far as money is concerned, I’m not crying for either of them. I do think it’s sad that McCartney got played, because he seemed to have a genuine relationship with Linda, and he probably thought he had that with Heather.

Mike/Houston,TX. | 3/17/2008, 6:23 pm EST

McCartney deserves whatever he gets. Let’s also not forget that he wanted to cut out Ringo & George from Beatles profits decades ago, [the shrewd bastard]and if it weren’t for John Lennon’s & Yoko’s endless litigations/lawsuits against him, those two would’ve landed in skidrow as ‘has beens’. And the Beatles’ catalogue in “digital” - he’s going to have to split that FOUR WAYS - two estates and one other surviving Beatle!

get raped cvnt! | 3/17/2008, 6:18 pm EST

I hope Heather gets gang raped and then murdered.I really do.she is SCUM.

daniel moore | 3/17/2008, 5:43 pm EST

mcCartney should have known better

Oddjob | 3/17/2008, 2:58 pm EST

I love how she claims 70,000 a year is not enough to raise her daughter. OK, lady, if you think so maybe you could pitch in some of your $50,0000,000 of your newfound fortune to help raise your own baby.

Sanchez | 3/17/2008, 2:40 pm EST

Who cares.

Country Crotch | 3/17/2008, 2:01 pm EST

I love how everyone is quick to bash Heather Mills by calling her a gold digger or a whore or worse. If McCartney was not a former Beatle and just some ordinary, rich British citizen, would you all still feel the same toward Heather? McCartney abused her and tormented her during their years of marriage. And now she’s left raising a kid on her own and still finds time to do charitable work. For us, $48.5M is quite a lot of money, but for a billionaire like McMcartney this isn’t really much. People need to see McCartney as the person that he really is - that of an asshole - and not look at him with an association to the former great rock band.

Jake Burns | 3/17/2008, 1:23 pm EST

Gold digging whore. Luckily he has a bit of cash left!

Rosco | 3/17/2008, 1:23 pm EST

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy…

DJ Freeze | 3/17/2008, 12:39 pm EST

IT’S AMAZING SHE CAN CRY THE BLUES LIKE 40 PLUS MILLION IS HARDLY ENOUGH TO SUPPORT HER!! AS WELL I NOTICE NO MENTION OF HOW MUCH CHARITY SHE CLAIMS ON HER TAXES!!! THE CHILD DESERVES THE CASH NO DOUBT. BUT I SEE SHE IS ALREADY DECIDING WHERE IT GOES.IF YOU READ ON SHE PLEASANTALLY CHASTIZES THE JUDGE AS IF TO SAY SHE WAS ROBBED AND THE AMOUNT IS NOT ENOUGH.IF SHE HAS BEEN DOING CHARITY WORK FOR 20 YEARS DID SHE ONLY BECOME POPULAR IN THE SCENE SINCE SIR PAUL.YOU WOULD THINK YOU WOULD BUILD A FEW CONNECTIONS AND DONATIONS DURING A 20 YEAR TENURE.WHAT A JOKE BUT PAUL NOT EVEN A DENT.GOOD RIDENCE YOU’LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER LIKE LINDA!!!
