Sir Paul may be getting of easy:

Heather Mills will get $50 million Cdn in her divorce deal with ex-husband Paul McCartney, a British newspaper is reporting.

A judge is scheduled to hand down a decision in the bitter divorce case on Monday.

But the Evening Standard reported Friday that both Mills and McCartney have accepted a settlement proposed by the judge of $50 million.

The couple split in May 2006 after four years of marriage. They have a daughter, Beatrice, 4.

The former Beatle, 65, married former model and charity campaigner Mills, 40, in 2002, four years after the death of his first wife Linda.

Mills and McCartney said they split "amicably" but their divorce wranglings have been acrimonious, with public accusations of cruelty that threatened McCartney's image with the British public.

The size of McCartney's fortune is unknown, but is believed to be in the region of $1.6 billion.

Experts said a $50-million settlement would be in line with British law. Mills would be entitled to a limited amount, because the marriage was relatively short, but McCartney also must provide for Beatrice as she grows up.

The highest amount ever awarded by a British divorce court was $96 million to the ex-wife of multi-millionaire businessman John Charman.

Pricey divorce settlements
Michael Jordan $168M US
Neil Diamond $150M US
Steven Spielberg $100M US
Harrison Ford $85M US
Kevin Costner $80M US
John Charman $96M Cdn


Moral of the story - I'm hoping you all will provide that in the comments section!!!!

If your rich - it's all about the pre-nup....either that or don't marry a greedy chick Or maybe, if your really loaded, just have a harem and skip the whole marriage thing. I think Hef has got it all figured out.

This is complete bullshit. Complete fucking bullshit. So, Paul comes up with creative (at the time) music and does it all himself, and then in comes a stranger who has absolutely no creativity of their own and nothing to show for their life other than saying, "Don't kill the seals", and some modeling showing off a body, and they walk away with millions. Fuck off. Just fuck off.

There shouldn't even have to be pre-nups. You should only get what you earn yourself. If you want a joint account while the marriage is on, fair enough, but once the two sides split, that's that. Take your sorry ass elsewhere and earn your own fucking keep. Yes, the child should be looked after. But Paul should only have to pay the exact amount that the ex will put into the child with her own income, effectively doubling what the single parent could provide themselves.

Entitlement is a bullshit concept and anyone that feels their entitled to anything other than what they work for themselves should go fuck themselves. I'll fuck them myself, if they're hot. Or, I'll pull the trigger with a sniper rifle on their ass if that's what is necessary.

She deserves maybe $800/month (until the kid is 18). this will help provide the rent for a decent apartment and some food on top of it.
