Please accept that what I am about to write I do as someone who is a. A big fan of Paul McCartney and b. Entirely ignorant of divorce law. But I just have to ask – why does Heather Mills get £24 million for being married to McCartney for four years?
I write as someone who a) Can’t stand Paul McCartney or either of his wives and b) Is also entirely ignorant of divorce law. But…
Isn’t £24m pretty fair compensation for having endured Sir Paul McCartney for four years. It works out at £16, 427 a day which, as a per diem, seems quite reasonable…
(Of course if you take the view that she is but a gold-digger, then McCartney can reflect that £24m to tell her where to hop-off is money well spent.)
