The Worst Ex-Wife Ever

Heater Mills, the now ex-wife of Paul McCartney, has already settled her divorce from the former Beatle for $48.7 million.  Given that they were married for four years - 2002 through 2006 - that works out to approximately $35,000 for each and every day they were married.  In addition to that lump-sum settlement, though, she also gets $70,000 a year in on-going payments plus “child support” payments to cover nannies and private schools for their kid Beatrice.

That’s a pretty big pay day, though why she’s entitled to any of it given that most of McCartney’s wealth comes from his past affiliation with the Beatles who broke up when Heather Mills was about 12 months old is beyond me.

But what’s amazing is that this gigantic and ill-deserved pay day isn’t enough for her.  She wants more:

Heather Mills is trying to prove Sir Paul McCartney is worth much more than the £400 million he claimed in their divorce battle.
She has told friends she is employing a team of forensic accountants to examine her former husband’s finances.

In her impromptu press conference after the divorce hearing at the High Court, Miss Mills said: “We all know he’s worth £800million. He’s been worth £800million for the last 15 years.”

She’s also complaining that the tens of millions of dollars she’s already received, along with the $70,000/year on-going payments, aren’t enough for her to raise little Beatrice:

Miss Mills has told friends she cannot look after Beatrice on £35,000 a year, the sum awarded at the High Court.

One said: “Heather says she can prove the amount of money that is being given to look after Bea will not last over the year. She is putting it to the test.
“Even with Bea travelling in economy Heather says it’s not enough. She is keeping every receipt - including her invoice to her security team - to show that £35,000 is just not sufficient.

“Heather’s thinking is that Bea should not be seen to have a different lifestyle when she is with Heather compared to Paul - and she is going about proving that is not possible.

Meanwhile, a lot of entire families would love to live on just the $70,000/year she’s getting in addition to the tens of millions already included in her settlement.

That the British courts would let Mills get away with this exemplifies everything that’s wrong with family law both in Great Britain and America.

So....she was married to this guy for four years, not even really enough time to wear out a good pair of jeans and she gets FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS and wants more?

I’d say something like, oh, that she’s a greedy, ego-maniacal golddigging psycho but since I’m a kinder and gentler kind of guy I won’t go there.

I guess you could say that Heather Mills is hopping mad she didn’t get more money out of Sir Paul.

and I think it exemplifies all that is wrong with the feminist movement.

Feminism is a tyranny; Heater Mill is the new poster child.

I was thinking that Lorena Bobbitt might beat the former Mrs. McCartney in this, but maybe it’s just me.

Lorena Bobbitt

Ah, but Lorena wasn’t an ex when she extracted her “pound of flesh”!
That would qualify her for “Worst wife ever”



For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

Top ten, no doubt… smile

OK, true, Proof. 

Levity aside, she could make the argument that her now ex’s portfolio increased by a certain amount during their marriage, and hence she’s entitled to a portion of that.  Highly unusual that Paul didn’t have an ironclad prenuptial agreement, though.

Can’t make it on fifty million, though....good grief.  Some people really do live in a different world than I seem to inhabit.

“pound of flesh”

a pound? *snicker* I believe that is a male ego over estimate.
Y’all should know by now, BIG ISN’T everything. After all the Titanic was a big ship, but it sank due to poor communication and careless driving.
Bwahahaha…
OK, back to whats her face, Heather give me all your money Mills. I’d like to know what happened to the prenuptial that was signed.

I can just see Heather escorting Beatrice to her seat in the back of the plane, telling her to behave, then heading back to first class to get her free drinks.

I’m surprised that * didn’t chastise me for the “hopping mad” joke.
