Heather Mills Gets $49 Million From McCartney in Divorce Settlement

Heather Mills says she is "so happy" with the almost $49 million she will get from ex-husband Paul McCartney. The settlement came today from London's High Court. Mills was all smiles as she spoke to reporters outside the courtroom, saying she was "glad it was over." She went on to blame McCartney for making details of their split public.

"I am standing here because Paul is insistent on the whole judgment being put out," she said. "I've said that if the whole judgment goes out then all the transcripts have to go out, because it's going to be written in a way that they will try and make it that I wasn't successful."

McCartney didn't have much to say to the press, other than "All will be revealed." He will have to pay Mills a lump sum of $33 million, and she will keep existing assets that total more than $15 million. McCartney himself is believed to be worth about $1.7 billion, though the judge found him to have assets totaling only about half of that.

McCartney and Mills were married for less than four years. They have a young daughter, Beatrice, for whom they maintain joint custody. Read the full story here.

This woman sickens me! Poor Paul McCartney had to bare with the death of his REAL wife, and then he got conned by this bitch! I'm sure the poor child was nothing more than a retirement plan/insurance policy for this bitch! I hope Paul gets custody of the child and THEN Heather will have to pay him!!!!

I'm so glad she didn't get as much as she wanted, even though this amount is still ridiculous.
I'm glad Paul is rid of her. Now he can move on with his life and this gold digging bitch can fade from the limelight.

Prostitution is alive and well. However I can't imagine anything between her legs that is worth 49 million.
