Heather Mills' massive divorce pay-out: $50m for six years of marriage
Heather Mills is set to pocket £25million ($50 million) in her divorce from Sir Paul McCartney.
The settlement - which roughly works out at £4million ($8 million) for every year the pair were married - is laid out in court papers sent to the former couple and their legal teams this week.
The official verdict is set to be handed down on Monday, according to a newspaper, although if it is not known if the sum includes provision for the couple's daughter Beatrice.
The figure will go down as one o
Richest Celeb Divorces: How Heather's $50 Mil Measures Up
Yes, the nearly $50 million Paul McCartney is paying ex-wife Heather Mills is a lot of money, but it's no record-breaker as far as celebrity divorce settlements are concerned.
That crown still gets shared among basketball great Michael Jordan, musician Neil Diamond and box-office champ Steven Spielberg and their exes.
After nearly 18 years together, Juanita Jordan walked away from her marriage to the hoop star in 2006 with a $150 million parting gift, just like onetime TV production assistant Marcia
Heather Mills flirts with Trump - report
Heather - who was a Miss USA judge last week - decided to spend some time with the multi-millionaire pageant owner because she wanted more money for appearing on the televised beauty contest.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "She flat out refused to sign her contract because she wants to get paid if they re-sell the footage. Her ego is enormous, and it's getting bigger by the minute.
"She believed that if the show got high ratings, it would be because of her. She treated this like she was st
Heather Mills to judge Miss USA pageant
SIR Paul McCartney's ex-wife Heather Mills has gone from judgment to judge after landing an expert role at the upcoming Miss U.S.A. pageant just days after winning $49 million (GBP24.5 million) in a London divorce court.
The former glamour model-turned-activist has signed on to judge beauty queens at tycoon Donald Trump's annual parade of lovelies in Las Vegas. Osmond siblings Donnie and Marie will host the show at the Planet Hollywood Resort + Casino next month (11Apr08).

Mills 'pesters' hotel with diet list
Heather Mills has reportedly pestered hotel staff with a list of dietary requirements for her daughter.
The animal rights activist called the La Gazelle d'Or hotel to warn them about 4-year-old Beatrice's vegan eating regime when she heard ex-husband Paul McCartney was taking her on holiday there.
McCartney is annoyed by his former wife's actions as he believes he is perfectly capable of looking after his own child, reports The Mirror.
A source said: "Paul booked the break for some quality time wit
Heather Mills househunts in New York with her $48.6 million settlement in hand
Less than a month after her divorce from Sir Paul McCartney was finalised, Heather Mills is already looking to splash out a chunk of her £48.6 million settlement.
While ex-husband Paul McCartney and his new flame Nancy Shevell enjoyed a dreamy holiday on the paradise island of Antigua, Heather was checking out multi-million pound properties in the Big Apple.
The former model has shown interest in a development in the prestigious Greenwich Village area where apartments range in price from $900,000 f
Judge in Paul McCartney divorce case fires back at Heather Mills
Read it and weep Mills!
A 58-page document may reveal why Heather Mills' tirade yesterday included a promise to appeal the publication of the judgment in her divorce from Sir Paul McCartney.
Mills claimed the judgment exposed private information about her 4-year-old daughter Beatrice. But with judge Justice Bennett noting in the document that Mills was "less than candid" and a "less than impressive witness," there are rumors that the 40-year-old wanted to keep these damaging remarks private as well.
Heather Mills Branded a Liar
In her fight to get her hands on Paul McCartney's money, Heather Mills made a series of "exaggerated" claims, according to the judge in the case.
The onetime Dancing with the Stars contestant sought close to $250 million of her ex's fortune, claiming expenses that didn't hold up under scrutiny. (She was ultimately awarded $48.6 million.)
For example, Mills claimed to need $60,000 annually to cover her equestrian needs and $80,000 to pay for her wine consumption. However, the judge noted that she no l
Heather Mills exposed as hypocrite
HIGH-LIVING Heather Mills was exposed as a hypocrite last night — for failing to buy first-class flights for daughter Beatrice.
Heather slammed ex Sir Paul McCartney on Monday for forcing the four-year-old to travel “B Class” after their bitter divorce — while he flew “A Class”.
She haughtily vowed to pay for Beatrice’s first-class travel herself.
But details obtained by The Sun show the one-legged gold-digger has ALREADY failed to live up to her pledge.

Yoko Ono Advises Heather Mills: 'Try to Survive'
Though Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono have long been said to have a frosty relationship, John Lennon's widow has some warm words for McCartney's recent ex, Heather Mills.
"All I can say is, it's not very easy for a woman to be associated with The Beatles," Ono, 75, tells Britain's Sky News. "I think all the wives did suffer, and I think quietly suffer. Suffer but endured, I would actually say."
Moving forward, Ono advises Mills, 40, to "do her very best and try to survive".

Heather Mills' wonky cleavage scores low marks as she's booed at Miss USA pageant
She's not exactly Miss Congeniality, and if there were a Miss USA Pageant category for fabulous cleavage, Heather Mills would have been passed over for that sash too.
The former model's overzealous attempt to lift and separate turned heads for all the wrong reasons over the weekend.
Her plunging green velvet dress revealed her rather uneven bust line as she walked the red carpet in Las Vegas.
Madonna to Divorce Guy Ritchie?!
Sources have revealed exclusively to Holy Moly that Madonna has hired Britain's toughest divorce lawyer, Nicholas Mostyn QC, to kick start divorce proceedings against her husband of eight years, Guy Ritchie.
Mostyn will no doubt strike fear into the heart of Guy - he is the man who sorted out Heather Mills, trounced Earl Spencer and almost destroyed Ray Parlour in his previous high profile divorce cases.
Suggestions made seem to indicate that, surprisingly, Madonna and Guy do NOT have a pre-nup in pla
All My Lovin': Sir Paul finally goes public with girlfriend Nancy
After 18 months locked in one of the bitterest divorce battles in showbiz, Sir Paul McCartney could be forgiven for steering clear of relationships altogether.
But just two weeks after his six year marriage to Heather Mills was officially ended, he looks to be putting his heartbreak behind him by stepping out in public for the first time with girlfriend Nancy Shevell.
The multi-millionaire heiress and socialite accompanied Sir Paul to a ceremony at one of America's top universities where he was awarde
Paul McCartney song written about Heather Mills?

The title of the song ’Mister Bellamy’ is an anagram of “Mills betray me”, and fans are speculating as to whether lyrics in the song refer to Mills.

At the hearing before Justice Hugh Bennett, the couple are likely to be granted a divorce on the uncontested basis that they have lived apart for two years.
In March, Bennett blasted Mills, branding her evidence in a battle over her divorce settlement as "inconsistent and inaccurate."
He ended up awarding Mills 24.3 million pounds ($48.7 million) -
Donald Trump defends Heather Mills as Miss USA pageant judge

Sir. Paul McCartney’s ex-wife will try and salvage her image in the U.S by judging the beauty show, which is being hosted by Donny and Marie Osmond.

Surrounded by beauty queens at the Miss USA Pageant on Friday, Gossip Girls' Chace Crawford only had eyes for one woman: Miss Missouri.
Of course, Miss Missouri is Candice Crawford, Chace's sister, a 21-year-old blonde beauty who dazzled judges deep into the competition.
But despite a public endorsement from her famous brother, Candice Crawford fell short in her bid to become Miss USA in Las Vegas – that honor went to Miss Texas Crystle Stewart.

Mucca dumps girl with no legs
Heather Mills smiles for the camera as she promises £10,000 to provide new artificial legs for a young Russian mum tragically disabled in a train accident.
But now we can reveal that pledge was a sham... and callous Lady Mucca has given nothing to desperate Maria Rybkina.
Mucca, who has an artificial leg herself, tenderly told the star-struck 28-year-old: "I will help buy you legs like mine. I will help you walk again."
But once she had basked in the glow of the photo opportunity, she IGNORED p
Paul McCartney granted divorce decree
Sometimes love isn't all you need. A judge in London granted a preliminary divorce Monday to former Beatle Paul McCartney and Heather Mills. If no one objects, the divorce will be final in six weeks.
Mills, 40, will emerge from the rancorous divorce with a settlement of $47.5 million but a reputation damaged by her televised outbursts against McCartney.
Neither McCartney nor Mills was in court Monday, which might have been a good thing. At the end of a hearing in March, Mills stole the show by emptyi
