Title: She Doesn't Have A Leg To Stand On In Court

LONDON (Reuters) - Former Beatle Paul McCartney could lose up to a quarter of his estimated 825 million pound fortune after separating from his second wife Heather Mills, legal experts said on Thursday.

That would equate to roughly one million pounds for every week of their short-lived four-year marriage.

Lawyers believe the divorce would never be allowed to degenerate into a messy court case but they said McCartney's decision not to seal a pre-nuptial deal could cost him dear in a private settlement.

The couple, who have a two-year-old daughter, Beatrice, met in 1999 at a charity event, a year after the death from breast cancer of McCartney's first wife Linda Eastman.

Lawyer Mark Stephens of Finers, Stephens and Innocent told Reuters: "Heather and the child need to be looked after financially. I think you are looking at 150 million to 200 million pounds."

After their separation was announced, McCartney denied that Heather had ever been attracted to his fortune, estimated by the Sunday Times Rich List at 825 million pounds.

The acid test is now," said Stephen Foster, head of the divorce department at Stewarts. "I think it would be a big award. I wouldn't be shocked if it is 100 million pounds."

"He famously didn't sign a pre-nup as he said it was unromantic. If they don't resolve things amicably and it becomes a protracted court case, that could be a very expensive decision," he said.
Who's the fool on the hill now?

Post by: Meatwad on May 18, 2006, 11:37:04 PM: I just converted it to dollars, 825 million pounds is $1,557,435,385 USD, a little over 1.5 BILLION dollars. If that old potatobag gets 150 million pounds, thats roughtly $283 million dollars.

And here between me and the missus, we will only make about $23,000 this year if that. I wouldnt even know what to do with millions other then invest it
