expelliarmum...

how about
"I want to hold you cash"
or "can't buy me love"
or "We all Live In A millionaires yellow submarine"

I agree totally ith Fio.....

BUT.... Let's not forget that Paul Mac offered her £30M AGES ago NOT to take this through the courts and she wouldn't have it for a second....

And, I'm sure she'll contest this because she wants more....In fact, I don't think there is an amount of money that she will be happy with.

Personally, I actually DO feel this is of public interest. That ex spouses can do this to each other (AND their children) IS WRONG...

I blame Heather Mills totally for this mess. YES, PAUL has a lot of money, but shagging / marrying someone DOES NOT immediately entitle you to half of everything.

Payouts also shouldn't be determined on 'fault' but on need. And you have to wonder, if Heather Mills had shacked up withanyone else, £24M would have been ALOT more than she would have been expecting.

And, please don't forget that the child has her future secured - trust fund / schools etc., this is about her MOTHER.

"I want to hold your cash"

Blandmum · 17/03/2008 14:17

If she invests the sum in a building society and gets a paltry 5% return on the investment she will have over £1,150,000 a year to live off.

And it will be more than that because I can't be arsed to calculate the (considerable) compound interest.

And she wants more?

A tad grasping I think

Fio, maybe not in connection with the marriage, who knows. But as a human being, yes she has - stole the identity of a journalist of the same name and tried to pass this person's work off as her own. As a feature writer, your byline is your trademark - if someone steals it, it's very, very damaging. So she's got a flaming cheek complaining about her 'inability to earn a living'.

blimey - can you provide a source for this please?

Youcannotbeserious · 17/03/2008 14:23

Fio - sorry, but she IS a villan.

She's done some pretty horrid stuff (including damaging OTHER people's reputations)

She doesn't like the fact she gets called names, but don't forget, she's called Paul (and Stella) a few choice ones....

I've met her a couple of times and she comes across as totally flaky - really demanding except when the cameras are rolling and she tries her best 'me? ickle old me?' routine....

lucyellensmum · 17/03/2008 14:23

It is a seriously fucked up world we live in, i don't think i could spend that sort of money in my lifetime. What is it with these people. I guess she is wanting to vindicate having a shit time, but really, is there a difference between 23 mil and 125mil, when it is going to one person?? If i were the judge i would bang there heads together and say right, meet half way - 70 million - to charity of your choice

squeaver · 17/03/2008 14:26

Her real problem is her raging ego combined with major insecurity. She doesn't want the judgement to be made public because then her story will have no media currency. She desperately needs to be liked and have the pubic believe her. It's sad actually.

She should go away, live - extremely well as MB says - on the interest from her settlement and try to get back some of her dignity.

squeaver · 17/03/2008 14:26

Sorry - that would be "the pubLic"

kaz33 · 17/03/2008 14:27

I know she is a silly moo but isn't Paul Mcartney just incredibly annoying and all his songs (including the very dreary Beatles) a total load of tosh.

Yeuch, yeuch, yeuch

That's the first one I could find, but it's very well documented.

Kaz33 - not the Beatles stuff, but he needs to start acting his age (and stop the bloody thumbs up stuff)

Grouchyoscar · 17/03/2008 14:35

OOOOh she makes me sick. It's all 'memememememeME' isn't it? Just take the cash and GO...please, you do yourself NO favours love.

And why does she only ever refer to beatrice as 'My' daughter? wasn't someone else 50% involved?

I can understand these massive payouts if the partner in question has been jointly responsible for the success of their partner.

Things such as being there from day one, having the kids, making a home, supporting the whole family through the partners ups and downs, giving advice, helping with office tasks, etc.. Man or woman - it doesn't matter.

Just what exactly doe Mills think she has contributed to his success?

She has actually hindered it and negatively affected it that's what.

She is just a complete freeloader latching onto someone at the twilight of their career when they have done all the hard work and hours beforehand.

I'd also like to add that my respect for Paul has wavered as he seems to have let someone waltz in and fuck up his life after forty years of hard work and talent on his part.

i can understand anyone wanting to get their life back on track after losing a wife and mother of your kids like that in such a nasty way - but he cocked up on that one didn't he?

He must be regretting it bigtime at the moment.
