good evening its your ever faithfull AA grumpy back tapping away as usual.

sir paul mc cartneys ex wife heather mills was today awarded £24.3 million pounds at the high court in a divorce settlement from sir paul.

it comprises of a 16.5 million lump sum and assets of 7.8 million the 16.5 million includes provision for daughter beatrice with sir paul paying an extra £35 000 a year to cover school fees and nanny costs.

she also wants to return to the high court to challenge a ruling which revealed she sought £125 million but was offered 15.8 million by sir paul whos assets are worth

400 million although she claims they are worth 800 million.

she said she was very happy with the decision.

im not surprised not a bad payday is it for fluttering your eyelids latching on to some one famous marrying them and have a child.

then you divorce them and are set up for life with £24.3 million in your bank account.

where do people think up these obscene amounts of money from?

still these people dont have to live in the real world and work for a living and scrape to get by.( im actualy smiling at the irony of it as i type this column ).

what next then miss mills flutter your eyelids at the next multi millionaire and start again?

after all where does £24.3 million go these days?:wah:

All I can say is..............time will tell.

All of the sources suggest £24.3M apart from the Times and the Daily Mail at £53M and £46M respectively.

At first I jumped to the conclusion that they'd mistaken $ for £ but it appears not. It looks like the settlement is for £24.3M (about £16.5M cash and £7.8M assets) but the maintenance and other ongoing payments will bring it up to about £50M over the next fifteen years.

All I can say is all the money in the world dosent always bring you happiness.

Yes, that is true. Who knows what will really make both of them happy in this world?

£35 000 a year JUST for school fees & a nanny.

My God, I wish I had that to live on (for everything).

I'd feel very rich with all that.
