Paul McCartney & Heather Mills £60 Million Divorce Settlement | Secret Meeting In High Court Today
Paul McCartney and Heather Mills have been in court today trying to thrash out a final settlement and put the whole sorry mess behind them.
The estranged couple, who had what can only be described as a tumultuous marriage are having a meeting with their respective lawyers in front of a high court judge in the hope of finally coming to terms on a deal which should see them both walk away relatively happy.
Heather would walk away with £60 million from Sir Paul’s huge fortune, which would be made up of a lump sum and an annual payment for their daughter Beatrice. Paul would finally get the woman who he reportedly came to hate out of his life.
Unfortunately it’s too late for either of them to walk away with their dignity intact as the rumours and stories of the bitter fighting which ensued during their marriage has made them both look rather pathetic at times.
Paul, 65, and Heather, 39, arrived at the Royal Courts of Justice secretly and separately earlier today to begin the meeting which could finally draw this disastrous coupling to an end.
A legal insider told the Daily Mirror yesterday:
“Both of them have reached the stage where they are fed up with shelling out huge sums of money for lawyers.”
“If Heather and Paul are willing to accept the judge’s guidance, it could be sorted out by close of play today.”
Paul is worth about £825 million ($1.7 Billion) so the £60 million ($130 million) won’t really affect his luxury lifestyle much. Heather meanwhile won’t have to work for the rest of her life, and will hopefully retire to some country estate and leave the rest of us in peace.
The biggest contested divorce settlement in the UK before this one was when insurance broker John Charman had to pay £48 million out to ex-wife Beverley in May. This deal will dwarf that and make Heather Mills one of the richest women in Britain.
