The very public and very messy divorce between Paul McCartney and his ex-wife Heather Mills could cost the former Beatle more than 25 million pounds (that would be $50 million dollars in American bills please!) After months of negotiations between the two’s lawyers Mills attorney has managed to open the purse strings of McCartney a little wider and turn his initial 5 million pounds settlement figure to a larger 25 million pounds. For a guy like Paul who’s reportedly worth 825-or-so million pounds (that’s $1.6 billion American dollars) what’s another 20 million to make sure his former lady love remains true to her promise as well as the confidentiality clause he made her sign. For Heather that works out to about 12 million dollars U.S. for each of the four years that the two were married, not bad pocket change for a 39-year-old smooching someone old enough to be her dad.

But even with the lucrative prospect of a 25 million pound payday Heather Mills and her attorney aren’t in a rush to sign the paperwork. Perhaps they think that Paul can afford to pay more for their quartet of happy years or maybe she thinks that she deserves more. She may get it still but in the court of public opinion the verdict is already in and it’s not favorable: she’s a gold digger!
