They say she might get as much as £200 Million for being married just 4 years (although they do have a 2 year old child)

How much do you think is fair?

I'm not sure but I reckon £10 Million is good going!!

Does she really need £200 million?

Former Member · May 2006

Arbitrary really, does he really need £800million?

Former Member · May 2006

who cares. I think she should get a fair bit of maintenance for the child, but i dont really believe in spousal maintenance or alimony, unless the couple have been married like forever.

She deserves the full whack; I'd need serious recompense too if I'd had to shag that wrinkly old crooner for four years.

I couldn't believe this was major headline news yesterday, I'd like to chip in on the "who cares" sentiment.

I found this article..

News reports have confirmed that Paul McCartney has separated from his wife Heather Mills- McCartney.

Mrs Mills- McCartney is said to be distraught over the split "He has been my crutch for so long!!" She said in an earlier briefing, “I have no idea why this has happened, I’m stumped”

She's reported to be making frantic efforts to keep the split as civil as possible.

”She's 'Running around in circles”, according to a close friend, “she will need all the support she can get its not like its easy to walk out on a relationship like this”

It is not known whether a pre-nuptial agreement was signed prior to the marriage, Paul McCartney is one of the richest men in the world amassing a colossal wealth due to his participation with The Beatles and subsequent musical collaborations, if an agreement hasn’t been signed it is believed that she won't have a leg to stand on.

Rumours abound over the split have suggested that infidelity may have been the cause. “She’s terrible” a source stated, “always trying to get her leg over”.

Another source has suggested that her battle with alcoholism was the cause. “Macca couldn’t handle it anymore” a friend said “he would get home at night and find her legless”

Many have attributed this to a problem which started with the present that Paul had got her for the wedding, she heard he was getting her a plane. It all became clear when she opened her first present and it was a Stanley; it was not the type of plane she was expecting.

Yeah I think she should get a lot for the child but I don't think she should get any of his fortune personally, its not as if she helped him make the money in the first place.

i recon i'd take it from paul for £200m, as well as being able to say ive slept with a beatle.

but back on topic, if she wants to be so independant and jet off around the world as the media are suggesting, i say tell her to be independant and earn her own cash. just my thoughts.

Former Member · May 2006

I think they might have had a pre-nuptial.

If they didn't, it's gonna cost him an arm and a leg.

Seconded.

I don't think they did have a pre-nup, if I remember rightly, as Macca was all about proving to the world (especially Stella) that he really, truly loved and trusted her not to be marrying him for his moolah

It would've helped him a bit if they did, too, as though I don't think pre-nups are recongised by UK law they often do speak volumes in court. At least that's the impression I was under.

No, don't know for all legless jokes, but I didn't find that article funny either...

Heard on the news earlier on that he had refused to draw up a pre-nuptial agreement.

Exactly, I've always thought the theory about 'half' was that one partner had been supporting the other, and the family, in a non-financial way to what was assumed during the relationship to be a fair trade, an equal amount towards a common goal of house and home. In this case, I can't see why she think she deserves very much at all...

The settlement will depend on what she gave up to look after their kids (not a lot) and what consideration she brought to the marriage in the first place.

Still, with his wealth, 20% is still a canny packet.

But did she help him at all in earning the money he now has? And I assume that even when she gets that money, she'll want child support from him as well... :rolleyes:

Former Member · May 2006

But she gave up work to look after his children.

She should get a proportion of his wealth that merits her input, I'd say about 20%. But with his wealth that's a lot of money.

Why should she only get a tiny fraction of his money simply because he has a lot of it?

Former Member · May 2006

Why should she get alot of it?

Former Member · May 2006

How is 20% a lot of it?
